Running DOS and Windows Applications in UnixWare - page 16 of 34

Goto next page, previous page, Running DOS and Windows Applications in UnixWare index or the main Novell UK presentations index.

We talked about this earlier, but Standard is only for Windows 3.1 use and EMS is used by DOS.

Note that the UnixWare 2 default ulimit will not allow you to use 15Mb of standard memory - check out the release notes to see how to increase the ulimit (this isn't a problem with UnxiWare 1).

A common support call, is if I allocate 15Mb of standard memory and 8Mb of EMS, how can this work on a machine which only has 16M of physical memory? UnixWare will, of course, make use of swap space to do this. This leads onto a problem of a DOS or Windows session simply not starting. This could because you are running out of swap space - we'll talk about how to increase you swap space a little later. So only allocate what you really need to use (don't take it all if you don't need it!)
