X-Hacker.org- Reference Manual for GoldED 2.51 - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

     With this  keyword you  can specify  what storage  devices the  DOS
     shell swapper should try or use, and what order to try them in.

     It is only  relevant for the  standard 16-bit DOS  version. The 386
     and OS/2 versions will ignore this keyword.

     The YES parameter tells the swapper  to try EMS, XMS, DISK in  that
     order, and NO tells it not to swap at all (this will leave the main
     part of  GoldED in  memory, and  give you  little room  in the  DOS
     shell).

     You can specify your own  order, such as "DOSSWAP EMS,  XMS, DISK",
     which makes it try it in that order, or "DOSSWAP EMS, DISK",  which
     makes it ignore XMS.

     If disk  swapping is  used, the  swap file  will be  placed in  the
     SWAPPATH.

     These parameters modify the disk swapping behaviour:

         HIDE        Hides the swapfile, if diskswapping is used.
         CHECKNET    For some reason, disk swapping is slower if running
                     on a (Novell) network without this.
         NOPREALLOC  Use this if you are always running on a network
                     (instead of enabling CHECKNET).

          IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT

     Some programs use  extended memory in  ways that may  conflict with
     the XMS  extended memory  driver, causing  inexplicable crashes. If
     you have  problems, you  should first  try turning  off the OVERLAY
     keyword, and  if it  still fails,  turn off  DOSSWAP (or stop using
     those other programs :-)
