Perhaps it is bad manners to kick off in a newsgroup with such a whine
instead of a gala opening, fanfares and cheerleaders, but this problem
is holding my work back.
Short description: R:Base 3.1 has some advanced memory-management
features that seem to clash with DESQview (I tried up to V2.32).
In particular, when leaving a subprogram of R:Base like Browse, I am
chucked out of R:Base altogether. Worse still, DESQview is then totally
confused about memory: Memory Status reports more Total Available and
Largest Available than the amount shown under Total Memory !
Not suprisingly, trying to do anything else results in a system crash, and
often even the CMOS setups are screwed up on restart.
I asked the local reps of both Microrim (R:Base's proud parents) and
Quarterdeck, but nothing useful came from the former and nothing from the
latter.
Before I go into laboriously documenting everything pertaining to my
system: (a) did anybody else have such a problem,
(b) if yes, have you found a solution, and
(c) can anyone suggest the optimal DV setup for R:Base 3.1.
Thanks for your help.
George
