- IMPORTANT NOTES TO BE READ BEFORE USING Q387.EXE
-
- <path to Q387>\Q387 xxx-xxx-xxx
- REMARK: As this program is cracked,you may type any numbers
- to replace (xxx-xxx-xxx)
- For example: Q387 324-342-744
-
- where xxx-xxx-xxx is your Run Code. You may have this anywhere in your
- Autoexec.bat file so that Q387 loads automatically each time you start
- your computer. Q387 is not a DOS TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident)
- program, so the order in which you load it is inconsequential. You
- would not use any LOADHI with it. Q387 uses no DOS memory, nor any
- Upper Memory Block, nor any of the Upper Memory area (the area between
- 1024k and 1088k).
-
- Included files in this new Version:-
-
- Q387.exe - The Q387 executable. This is a a self-expanding,
- compressed file. Compressed with PKlite Professional
- (PKlite is a trademark of PkWare, Inc.)
- Q387.doc - This file.
- OFF.exe - Will disable Q387 after it has been loaded. It does
- not remove Q387 from memory. Do not run from within
- Windows.
- ON.exe - Reenables Q387 after it has been disabled by "OFF.exe".
- Do not run from within Windows.
-
- One penalty associated with the use of expanded memory is that
- available high memory will be reduced by 64k (required for the expanded
- memory "page frame"), leaving less room for device drivers and TSR's.
- Also, Windows cannot use any of your expanded memory in 386 Enhanced
- Mode. If you don't want to use expanded memory, you can specify to the
- EMM that it not use a page frame, thus reclaiming the lost 64k of high
- memory. This is accomplished as follows in your CONFIG.SYS file -
-
- device = <path to DOS>\EMM386.EXE NOEMS (for DOS 5)
- device = <path to QEMM>\QEMM386.SYS FRAME=0 (for QEMM386)
- device = <path to 386MAX>\386MAX.SYS NOFRAME (for 386MAX)
- device = <path to DR DOS>\EMM386.SYS /F=none (for DR DOS 6)
-
-
- If you are using EMM386 and older DOS Extender programs (e.g. ACAD 11)-
-
- Older DOS Extender programs such as AutoCAD 11 can only make use of
- Expanded Memory when an EMM is present, so it's best to allocate almost
- all of your available memory to Expanded Memory in this case. You must
- reserve enough Extended Memory for Q387 to load, however. With
- EMM386.exe, a straightforward way to do this is as follows (this example
- is for a computer with 4 Meg of RAM) -
-
- device = <path to DOS>\EMM386.EXE L=340 2912
-
- where the "L=340" parameter tells EMM386 to reserve 340k of extended
- memory. The "2912" parameter tells it to allocate 2912k bytes for
- expanded memory (if that much is available). If you don't tell the EMM
- to reserve a sufficient amount of Expanded Memory, older DOS Extender
- applications will give you some confusing message such as "Conflicting
- protected mode environment", or "The 386 chip is currently executing in
- virtual 8086 mode...", etc. QEMM and 386MAX make both types of memory
- available from the overall supply of memory, so you don't have to
- reserve any memory explicitly for extended or for expanded memory.
