If Optimize is not loading it high, then you don't have sufficient
high memory available for it to fit with everything else.  Optimize
got you the best conventional memory by loading something other than
mscdex high.

You can reduce its footprint from 40K+ to about 15K if you change the
/m:10 to /m:4, and add the /e switch to the list of parameters.
Performance is not noticeably affected by reducing the buffers to 4,
and the /e switch loads a large part of mscdex into EMS.  This makes
it much easier to loadhi, and reduces the hit on conventional if there
is still not enough room.

The list is in the FAQ.  BTW, the next FAQ may be posted a day late

Does any body know how to install the QDPMI host on a DOS machine??
The installation program says only : "You must insert the installation disk "
Since I downloaded the .zip file I do not have a installation disk!
 The .doc file says:type INSTALL and press ENTER".
May be I used the wrong ENTER key- I beleeve INSTALL I typed correct.
In case there is again such an awful so called "optimize" program which
destroyes all 
structure in the loading of DOS I'll better let it as it is. 
To ask Qdeck seems not very useful since several month ago I called them
because of DR-DOS problems and they wanted to send a FAX-but nothing arrived! 
Does any body know the upgrade conditions from QEMM 6.0 to DV/X?

Can any body imagine why QDMPI uses the typical Ergo-style fixed size
VM-file instead of
the allocation of virtual pages from disk as needed?
There are several software packages mentioned to be compatible is any
thing known about 
compatibility with the Phar Lap tools?

All tricks to get around the "install" are welcome!

huh?  ethernet window?  I'll assume you really mean a TELNET session
(rlogin/rloginvt) running in this window.  There may indeed be some kbd
conflicts with certain versions of FTP's software.  Some experimenting with the "keyboard conflict" setting in the DVP may be called for.  The setting
should be kept as low as possible.

no problems with this

Don;t do that.  This won't work without some advanced tweaking with HOOKINT,
and performance will be terrible once it does work.

You should really look into DVX for this type on environment...

OK, fix was to use full path, c:\dvx1\network\nsftp.exe

However, it only allows one socket connection (xterm or telnet or ftp/fileman)
and hangs if more than one started. I have gone from  -t 7 to -t 16
so that shouldn't be a problem. Is above technique limited to packet drivers,
and if so, why ? Is it compatible with interdrive if idrive & idmnt
done in same batch file ?

It looks like a reentrancy problem to me, is there a fix ? i am using
ST:P, and mouse hiding trick.

Subject: DV and MKS Toolkit (comm. and graphics)
Date: 29 Sep 92 08:12:11 GMT
Organization: PANIX Public Access Unix & Internet, NYC

I've just started playing with getting the MKS Toolkit
Kornshell to run as the shell under DesqView386. I'm amazed
at my success, but I've run into some problems that negate
the whole effort.

First of all, I can reliably get DesqView to provide
Kornshell "windows" with ~560K free. O.K., a few unexplained
system-lockups, and Execption errors, but that was just
installation. The real problems are:

	MS Word 5.5

	When I run word (from the command line of the korn shell window
	or from DesqView's menu), DV does not switch into the correct
	graphics mode, regardless of whether Word is displaying 25x80
	or 30x80 or 34x80.  Standard (not extended) VGA, different
	settings attempted in the program description, including
	setting the video mode to force DV into 25x80 or 30x80
	graphics. Explicetly setting DV ({DESQ}/Rearrange/Video) to the
	25x80 or 30x80 graphics mode makes Word fine.


	Kermit

	Kermit immediatly hangs the machine (not just the window) when
	I give the "set port" command, specifiying which comm port to
	use. There have been NO hardware changes since the DV
	installation, and Procomm (yuck) works fine. I've got a generic
	multi-io card with the mouse on COM1 1 and an unused COM2 (w/o
	chips installed to make COM2 function).  My internal modem is
	jumpered for COM4 (2E8, IRQ 3).  Procomm sees this as COM4 and
	works find under DV or not. Kermit sees this as COM2, and works
	fine under DOS. InfoPlus AND Manifest report this address (and
	find that there is someting there) as COM2. Manifest (under DV)
	locked up after displaying this information.

Any suggestions? I'm thrilled about how easy it was to get a
replacement for command.com working under DV, but these
problems are significant enough to make me avoid DV. Will
DV/X cure these bugs (o.k., I'm just looking for an excuse
to upgrade).

Anyone else using DV and MKS want to swap lies (oops, secrets)?

Subject: Upgradable 386 Motherboard
Keywords: VEGA, Symphony
Date: 28 Sep 92 22:16:02 GMT

I recently purchased a 40 Mhz 80386 motherboard which is 
upgradable to a 50 Mhz 486.  I wanted a 486 but could not
afford the going rate, so thaught this path might be more
economical.  But now I fear I got a lemon.  The manufacturer
is: VEGA and it uses the Symphony chip set.
Has anyone out there ever had a VEGA board or the Symphony 
chip set?  I can't seem to find any information about them,
so I would greatly appreciate any comments from anyone who
has used either.  I vaguely remember hearing about problems
with a VEGA board a few years ago...
Thats what I get for leaping before I look.  But I do have 30
days to return it.
I will be running DESQVIEW and QEMM on it, and I know from   
experience that any incompatabilities or memory problems
will crash and burn them.

If price was no object, I recommend AMI motherboards.  I have a
baby screamer (386-33) which is flawless, and its shadow ram and
bios features are fully compatable.  Had problems with Micronics
shadow ram (QEMM couldn't live with or even use its shadow ram) and
have found Mylex to be really bad also (wasted reserve memory for 
EGA Bios, strange os/2 jumpers, scsi disk problems, keyboard controller
bugs, etc.).

But the VEGA costs hundreds less than AMI's, has a faster clock,
and is upgradable.

Too good to be true?  Maby, you tell me (please).  And I'll post a
summary when I found out the truth.

Thanks in advance,  

Dave

Subject: DV/286 not utilizing EMS
Organization: The World Public Access UNIX, Brookline, MA
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 1992 13:09:27 GMT

First, my mea culpas.  This should be an easy, well-trodden
question.  I just can't figure it out.

I've got a 286 machine c. 1985 with an Intel AboveBoard
providing 512K of XMS and 1536K EMS.  The CONFIG.SYS
loads the EMM driver for this board, QEXT.SYS and a couple
of drivers.  When DESQview loads, the XMS is utilized, I
can tell by the relative size of the available memory.  But
the EMS, while recognized, it not utilized.  Note the Memory
Status display:
                      Total     Total       Largest
                      Memory    Available   Available

Common Memory         17408      11510       11498

Conventional Memory    476K        12K         12K

Expanded Memory       1536K      1504K          0K


(Conventional memory is being taken up by Procomm, a 128K dos
window and memstat itself.

So, what's the deal?  Can a 286 utilize EMS as swap space without
making it into a RAM disk?  Is there some known problem with Above
Boards?  Should I just break down and call QOS tech support?  My
intent is to make the last number (EMS/Largest Available) more like
1500K instead of 0K.

This should be possible, since the DVGLUE functions are compiled to use

you use the {$L file} construct.

Anyway, I am sure I could hack it out it necessary, but would prefer not
to do so, if its already been done.  If anyone has done this and could

It does not work, and we're surprised to hear of a file that purports

8514 emul in the message header says it all.  8514/a is a hardware spec.
software emulations will not work with the DVX server.  Also since it's not
really 8514/a hardware, it almost certainly uses the A000 segment of memory.
This means that the VIDRAM trick with an 8514 server can't work.
