MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

If you use Automap Road Atlas for MS-DOS with Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager (QEMM), you may receive an error stating that there is not enough EMS memory available.

= RESOLUTION =

To make EMS memory available to Road Atlas for MS-DOS, the following argument will need to be added to the DEVICE=QEMM line in your CONFIG.SYS file:

FR=E000

Restart your system after adding the argument and saving the CONFIG.SYS file. Once the system has restarted, you may want to run the Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager optimization program. For more information, see your Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager documentation.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Adding the FR=E000 statement forces Quarterdeck Expanded Memory Manager to begin the EMS page frame at E000h, the normal location used by EMS memory handlers. Road Atlas for MS-DOS looks for the EMS frame to start specifically at E000h.

The Quarterdeck product discussed here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product’s performance or reliability.
