This information comes from the Memory Management appendix in Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.0 documentation. The minimum memory requirement for Release 3.0 is 640K bytes of conventional memory and 384K bytes of extended memory. The suggested memory amounts are 640K bytes conventional, and at 1M byte of extended (the more the better). If you have programs which use expanded memory, set aside enough for those applications (1MB is usually sufficient). Make sure the extended memory isn't allocated to other programs like disk caches. If you're unsure, check the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Because most DOS applications use extended, not expanded, memory, configure as much expanded as needed for these applications. When configured for both kinds of memory, the 1-2-3 program is stored in extended and data is stored in expanded. When expanded is full, 1- 2-3 places any additional data in extended. If you have an 80386-based computer with an Expanded Memory Emulation Program, such as ILIM386 or QEMM386, you should convert as much extended memory as possible to expanded. 1-2-3 can access only the memory that the emulation program converts to expanded. 1-2-3 won't be able to use any extended memory after the emulation program has loaded. You usually set the amount of memory to be converted with a statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. Check your documentation for your driver to change it. NOTE: 1-2-3 works with only EMS Emulators that support the Virtual Control Program Interface (VCPI). Among those that support VCPI are 386 MAX version 4.07 or later, Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager (QEMM) version 4.2 or later, and COMPAQ Expanded Memory Manager (CEMM). LOTUS 123 3.0 ONLY SEES 15 MEG OF MEMORY Some applications will only see 15 Meg of memory no matter how much is installed. Lotus 1-2-3 3.0 is one of them.
