|
|
|
|
I'll keep this short and sweet. Orginally DOSMAX, STOPMAX, FREELOAD,
|
|
SHELLMAX, and ENVIMAX were produced as tools for my own use. The goal was
|
|
to configure my computer for the optimum balance between low and high
|
|
memory. I have since extended the programs to support all the conditions
|
|
I could think of and thereby achieve this balance in as many configurations
|
|
as possible.
|
|
|
|
Though I have made every effort to thoroughly test these programs under
|
|
a variety of demanding configurations, the basic algorithum relies on
|
|
unofficial features of MS-DOS and memory managers, and I do not accept
|
|
liability for any damage incurred to your computer or data resulting
|
|
from the use of these programs.
|
|
|
|
You are free to try the DOSMAX package until you are satisfied that
|
|
it performs its functions properly and you decide the package is useful
|
|
and desired in your configuration. If you make the decision to continue
|
|
to use these programs, please pay for them. Your $15.00 will help
|
|
defray my costs to produce them.
|
|
|
|
Registered user's of earlier versions of DOSMAX are not obligated to
|
|
repeat their previous contribution. (Unless you really, really, really
|
|
appreciate the effort and want to...).
|
|
|
|
If you register, I will be happy to answer any technical questions you
|
|
have about these products.
|
|
|
|
Send your name, address, phone#, or whatever information is appropriate,
|
|
and remit $15.00 to:

|
If more than 3 computers at your site use DOSMAX (additional computers
|
|
you personally own and use are covered by the 1 registration fee), you
|
|
may reduce the registration as follows:
|
|
|
|
1 -> 3 : $15.00 per unit
|
|
4 -> 9 : $13.00 per unit
|
|
10 -> 24 : $10.00 per unit
|
|
25 -> 49 : $ 8.00 per unit
|
|
50 -> 99 : $ 6.00 per unit
|
|
100 -> +++ : $ 5.00 per unit
|
|
|
|
You may distribute the DOSMAX package only in its original form as
|
|
DOSMAX17.ZIP (the version # is optional but recommended), and all files
|
|
must be intact.

(Packed File is Corrupt::)
|
|
|
|
This message is issued by programs linked with /EXEPACK option of earlier
|
|
versions of Microsoft's Link when they are loaded so low in memory that
|
|
the unpacking crosses the first 64k boundary and the /A20 line is on.
|
|
This is a bug in the unpacking code and not a problem in DOSMAX. After
|
|
installing DOSMAX, the load address is "lower" than any of your previous
|
|
configurations and you may encounter this bug even inside a DESQView
|
|
window, or from a program overlay.
|
|
|
|
The simple solution to the problem is to use LOADFIX.COM supplied with
|
|
MS-DOS 5.0. This program eats up low memory and loads the trouble program
|
|
above the 1st 64k boundary. Another solution to the problem is to
|
|
contact the program's developer for an update. Finally, there are several
|
|
programs on the market which unpack the executeable or overlay and may
|
|
then repack the code with a better algorithum. An excellent program which
|
|
is even freeware, is LZEXE.ZIP (or LZEX91.ZIP)
|
|
|
|
LZEXE.EXE v0.91 (c) 1989 Fabrice BELLARD
|
|
UPACKEXE.EXE v1.00 (c) 1989 Fabrice BELLARD
|
|
|
|
This program is available on many BBS's including COMPUSERVE in IBMSYS
|
|
Lib 6 as LZEX91.ZIP.
|
|
|
|
(Hint)::
|
|
|
|
If you DOS is in a UMB, and you use SHELLMAX.COM and /A0, or 4DOS.COM,
|
|
your A20 line should be off. Starting up DESQView, or using an XMS disk
|
|
cache may turn on the A20 again.
