In order to run Q&A in Windows, you will need to set up a PIF (Program Information File). If you are unfamiliar with creating a PIF, please refer to your Windows manual. Here are the standard settings you will need: 旼컴쩡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컫컴커 � � PIF Editor - QAVER4.PIF � � 쳐컴좔컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컨컴캑 � File Mode Help � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캑 � � � Program Filename: C:\QA4\QA.COM � � � � Window Title: Q&A 4.0 � � � � Optional Parameters: � � � � Start-up Directory: C:\QA4\ � � � � Memory Requirements: KB Required 500 KB Desired 640 � � � � Display Usage: Full Screen Execution: X Backround � � � � X Windowed Exclusive � � � � X Close Window on Exit Advanced... � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 Remember to substitute "C:\QA4" with whatever your Q&A path is. If you are using DOS 5.0 and Q&A 4.0, it may be necessary to add the following to the Optional Parameters line: -v0 -ym1 [minus v zero space bar minus y m 1] This tells Q&A not to use Expanded memory or upper memory blocks. If you are using Q&A 3.0, only add -v0 (-ym1 is a switch specific to Q&A 4.0 only). If you are running Windows in 386 Enhanced mode, you will need to set the following parameters on the ADVANCED screen of your PIF: 旼컴컴컴횯isplay Options컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � � � Video Memory: X Text Low Graphics High Graphics � � � � Monitor Ports: X Text Low Graphicw High Graphics � � � � X Emulate Text Mode Retain Video Memory � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 We have found that these settings work 99% of the time, but there are situations (special hardware configurations or drivers) where these settings might not work. In these cases, you will have to consult Windows support for possible alternate settings. Q & A Application Note Rev. 6/92 #2012 Page 1 of 1
