Hello all.. I am very new to os/2. I am running IBM OS/2 ver 1.2 and am having the problem of no more memory. I have a DELL system 316sx with 5MB of 100ns memory. If I change my MEMMAN to noswap, nomove in my config.sys I cannot run any processes. I don't understand this! 5MB should be plenty. Im doing this to get os/2 running as fast as possible. The pstat command will not tell me how much memory os/2 thinks I have so I need some way of doing this... Thanks all. tim@vax1.cc.uakron.edu I am a Timothy Smith | INTERNET: tim@vonneuman.math.uakron.edu Department of Mathematics | The University of Akron | What kind of world is it, when a man, dressed Akron, ohio 44325 | as a BAT, gets all of my press? --The Joker

For starters unless your app causes alot of swapping, NOSWAP is not going to make much difference and could contribute to you problem. NOMOVE is probably why you are running out of memory, after all if there is not a big enough space to put your app in and OS/2 can't move memory around to make space, then what else do you expect it to tell you. And you did not say if your running PM, if so NOSWAP,NOMOVE is a bad idea. -- Jack Computer Support Corportion Dallas,Texas Hudler UUCP: {texsun,texbell,attctc}!csccat!jack
