==== ARev3 and Extended Memory with 95 (AREV Specific) ====

We have an ARev3 application which is running out of memory.
We use the options:
arev , /s /x /m4096
We have tried: F5 WHO to view the available memory
This ranges from 110K to 490K. Under ARev1 we usually had about 250K.
It also shows that Version C on Win95 is not using extended memory, while Version A and Version B of Win95 work OK.
It is probable that NT Workstations have the same problem.
Anyone have suggestions on how to access more memory?

Make sure that HIMEM is not disabling expanded memory.

Kelly,
In config.sys (on Win95/98) or config.nt (WinNT) load HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE right after it to enable expanded memory. In Win98 for example:
DEVICE=C:\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\EMM386.EXE
Reboot and then it should be enabled for use.

Thanks,
That worked.
Any reason why this is not the default in the config.sys file?

Most Win32 machines are like this. Expanded memory is really only used by DOS applications (it was originally designed for large DOS based spreadsheets such as Lotus 123 hence LIM specification Lotus-Intel-Microsoft) so I guess the suppliers assume we will all be using Windows apps.

Microsoft is moving away from supporting DOS applications. The PC99 specifications has no legacy support.
