Can anyone tell me what is 'REVG/MEMFIXG'. Is it mean REVG can not run on Pentium II or faster processor?
Thanks a lot

REVG runs on a Pentium Processor. MEMFIXG places CHAR(0) in all available memory to clear REVG's data areas ahead of execution.

Run MEMFIXG in a batch file ahead of REV.EXE
so something like MYAPP.BAT
echo off
cls
scandisk

MEMFIXG?
Don't know if I have it. Never used it. Don't have a problem (that I'm aware of).
So, why do I need it?
Thanks

As I understand it the memory problem was in DOS 4.x and thus the need for memfixg. In my experience using DOS 5.x and later it is not needed.

Back in my old tech support days, we found the problem was random and some people required it. We had one machine that needed it (DOS 5, Win 3.1, Dell 486, 16M, 3C509 card and 3C5x9 ODI drivers, ethernet cabling, Novell 3.12 network) that needed it in order to run. Spent a lot of time running RevG on that bad boy. It's the machine I learned asm code on to make a nasty hack into the LNK drivers. Had to test it obviously, so it was my RevG support machine.
Pretty scary I can remember that configuration after all these years.
