- This ZIP file includes a couple of simple utilities to assist in
- determining how much memory your PC can or has supplied to OS/2 2.0.
-
- The program MEMBIOS.EXE (source in MEMBIOS.C) can be run from a
- native mode DOS (not an OS/2 VDM) to determine how much contiguous
- extended memory your PC will report during the OS/2 boot procedure.
- It should be used under DOS where no Memory Managers (e.g. QEMM, 386Max)
- are running. If a Memory Manager is running, the call it uses will
- report nothing available.
-
- The program MEMAVL20.EXE (source in MEMAVL20.C) can be run from an
- OS/2 2.0 command line to report three values:
-
- 1. Total Physical Memory in PC
- 2. Memory used by 'resident' modules
- 3. Total Virtual Memory available for allocation (includes disk space)
-
- I hope these modules can assist you in determining how well OS/2 2.0
- makes use of your PC. Obviously there are other factors that determine
- how much memory OS/2 can use on your PC, so there are no guarantees
- that the values reported by these programs have any validity.
-
