Word 5.50: Insufficent Memory with Attachmate Extra!

PSS ID Number: Q68395 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50 6.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

On certain configurations running Attachmate Extra!, there will not be enough memory available to run Word version 5.50, even though Word 5.00 had been able to run previously. This is because Word 5.00 was capable of running in slightly less than the 384K system requirement, while Word version 5.50 strictly adheres to the system requirement of 384K.

A possible workaround is to install Attachmate Extra! so that it takes up 15K less memory. The “-NS” switch will install Attachmate Extra! for normal screen only, which will take up 15K less memory. However, the “-NS” switch does not allow use of the 32 line x 132 column display mode.

Freeing up more conventional memory should allow Word to run under Attachmate Extra!. For more information on the “-NS” switch or further optimization of Attachmate Extra!, call Attachmate at (800) 888-1187.
