config.sys:
device c:\ptsdos\himem.sys
devicehigh c:\ptsdos\ptscache.sys 2048 k:2048 u:8 t:90 b /h
<all other tsr>
<rest of config.sys>
autoexec.bat:
<anti-virus not loaded in config.sys>
<path and directory statements>
ptsctl 2048 f ;not a tsr, just a tool ;')
<rest of autoexec.bat>
Allows QuickView to read from memory, rather than disk. If too much
conventional memory is missing, adjust the cache size (2048 here)
downward bit-by-bit until a large choonk of memory becomes available.
This will happen at a 1K threshold; the numbers are in K, so at some
point, it's one at a time. The buffer size, K: figure, and ptsctl figure
should be made to match. ptsctl <size> f turns off dynamic memory
allocation and allocates the whole XMS size requested. The reason for
this is that x-based apps such as Arachne usually aren't very careful
about allotting more XMS. X apps will know how much they have left from
the start.
There should be enough room to set this up on a boot floppy for test
purposes.
