I recently downloaded 4dos ver 3.01a and tried playing around with for a while. I quickly found that when I load it as the primary shell (ie from config.sys) that my pc-cache.com program refuses to load its cache file in extended memory. It claims there is none. If I inhibit swapping in 4dos or force it to swap to disk then pc-cache works but then it is impossible to get 4dos to start swapping to extended (XMS) mem. Has anybody else found this problem with pctools pc-cache and 4dos? please reply.

Sounds like you don't have enough EXTEnded memory. What kind of system are you running on? Are you using a memory manager like HIMEM.SYS to map EXTEnded memory? I have no problems on a 386 using 4DOS, QEMM and PC-CACHE in either EXTEnded or EXPAnded memory. jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."

PC-CACHE will use EXPanded ram which is fine but cannot find any EXTended memory.

Are you sure QEXT isn't converting all your extended memory to expanded? What does the 4DOS MEMORY command say about extended/expanded memory? Have you run MANIFEST to verify that there is some extended memory left? jim If you want to do this via EMAIL, my address is below. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."
