Re: available memory

In WinXP and in Dosemu/Linux, I have regularly culled and created 3.4 MB
text files using XyWrite; a second file is always open as the first
grows and is usually c.400KB. Xy seems to fail somewhere above 4 MB of
open files in WinXP; the barrier seems to be higher in Dosemu with EMS
set to 4096 in .dosemurc

But this would seem to indicate that EMS memory is being used for
Xy and its data files itself, NOT JUST for the one brand of
spell-check dictionary, as we've head so long!

Xy4 had preferred config.sys and/or autoexec.bat settings in the old DOS
days, relating to files and buffers I think. I've been searching, trying
to find out what those were, because I'd like to tweak the similar files
in Dosemu. Does anyone remember what those settings were? Many thanks.

DOSEmu lets you set those? Vista doesn't even have autoexec.nt.
Or at least the initial release didn't; it got added with one of
the updates. Let me see; I think I have the Xy Installation Guide
here someplace.
