Hello all, Recently this list carried a thread on PCNFS and Windows 3.0 co-existing. I ignored this thread, mostly because I did not use Windows. But now I'm forced to use Windows and am having problems with PCNFS and Microsoft fighting over memory. My machine constantly hangs at inconvenient times. Could some kind soul send me a summary of what I need to do to get these two to co-exist peacefully. You may even forward me the whole barrage of mail the thread consisted of, and I will sort it out for myself. Thanx, Michael Leo Honeywell Commercial Flight Systems 612-785-4219 mleo@cdev.cfsmo.honeywell.com -------

WE have user Windows and PC-NFS quite successfully. I found out that a memory manager such as QEMM vs 5.1 is a must, or you will run out of memory Quickly. With QEMM you can load things like PCNFS (or what every communications system you are running) into the adaptor space out of harm's way, leaving more space for windows. Currently I am running Windows 3 with PC/TCP (plus its version of NFS) and X Vision's X server. Chris Tanner TANNERC@CRL.AECL.CA AECL Research
