- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- Loading CLIENT and SERVER into Upper Memory
-
- Memory managers which load terminate-stay-resident programs
- (TSR's) such as CLIENT.EXE and SERVER.EXE into upper memory
- reserve a fixed length block of memory to load the program. As
- long as the program is the same size in memory as it is on disk,
- there will be no memory conflict. However, SERVER.EXE is
- actually larger when it is loaded than it is on disk. Since
- SERVER.EXE is larger, memory managers that do not account for
- such growth may load SERVER into too small of a memory block.
- This can cause memory corruption and the computer to hang. To
- avoid this type of problem, we suggest that you do not load
- SERVER into upper memory. CLIENT does not grow when loaded so it
- can be loaded "high".
