- /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.
