- SPECIAL NOTES FOR MICROSOFT QUICKBASIC(R) USERS
- ============================================================
-
- When using ADDMEM.EXE with QuickBASIC, there are several
- things that you must know to achieve optimum use. There are
- also several things you need to know so you don't potentially
- lock up your system.
-
-
- THINGS YOU SHOULD DO
- ====================
-
- When you initially load the editor, be sure to add the "/G"
- command line option to your normal command line option(s).
- An example would be:
-
- QB /G
- QBX /G
-
- This option forces QuickBASIC to use direct screen writes
- within the editor. For some reason, ADDMEM inhibits the
- automatic usage of this option. If you don't use this
- option, you will notice that the screen gets updated a little
- slower.
-
-
-
- THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO
- ========================
-
- Do not use the "/H" option when loading QuickBASIC, this causes
- a video mode change which will cause ADDMEM to abort.
-
- The following BASIC commands should not be used while ADDMEM
- is resident:
-
- WIDTH 40
- WIDTH 80
- PALETTE
- SCREEN 2 (or anything above)
-
- "PALETTE" may or may not work on VGA systems. Try it and see
- if it works for your system.
-
- It is ALWAYS safe to use SCREEN to switch the "APAGE" and
- "VPAGE" options, but do not attempt to switch into any other
- video mode except mode 1.
