- This small DOC files briefly describes how SHEZ swaps itself out of memory to
- make room for other programs. It also describes how the user can configure
- SHEZ to perform it's swapping function.
-
- When you configure SHEZ to swap itself out of memory when running other
- programs, SHEZ first looks to see if your system has EMS memory installed. If
- there is EMS memory, and there is a sufficient amount of EMS memory, SHEZ will
- copy most of it's code to EMS memory then free up enough memory to run another
- program. After the other program has ended SHEZ then swaps itself back into
- memory.
-
- If EMS memory is not available, or there is not enough EMS memory, SHEZ will
- then use your DISK to swap itself out of memory. It allocates disk space on
- the currently active drive and in the current directory. When SHEZ swaps to
- disk it can conflict with some compression operations.
-
- To solve this problem the SHEZCFG program not allows you to tell SHEZ, HOW AND
- WHERE TO SWAP itself. The SHEZCFG program allows you to tell SHEZ the DISK
- and DIRECTORY of where to build it's swapper file if it need to swap to disk.
- The SHEZCFG program also allows you to tell SHEZ to ignore EMS memory, even if
- you have EMS memory installed, and always swap to disk.
-
- Since these option are new in release 6.1
-
- PLEASE RUN THE SHEZCFG PROGRAM AND SET THE SWAPPING OPTIONS TO YOUR PERSONAL
- NEEDS.
-
- The swapping options can be found under the ADDITIONAL SETUP INFORMATION menu
- item.
