/FHQ22: How can I configure DESQview for maximum window memory under DOS 5?/FB



The answer to this question is very system dependent.  However, you
should use QEMM rather than EMM386 and HIMEM.SYS (on a 386), because
QEMM is smaller and will provide the same services.  Also, without QEMM
screen virtualization is not possible /JB(see Q2)/q2.txt/.  Loading DOS high will
not necessarily help, because that reduces the amount of DESQview kernel
that can be loaded high /JB(see Q16)/q16.txt/.



Experiment.  Use Manifest to judge the results.  If your high memory is
very fragmented (i.e. many small contiguous blocks rather than a few
large blocks), keeping DOS and TSRs low and putting DESQview high might
work better.



Do not set up your path and environment variables until all the TSRs
have been loaded.  A copy of the environment is made for every TSR, and
if the TSR does not give this area of memory back to DOS, it is wasted.
