Using RIPLMEM.EXE ----------------- To enable 386 enhanced mode on a workstation: 1. Copy RIPLMEM.EXE from the enclosed disk to a location that the workstation can access while it is running Windows. For example, copy the file to the Windows directory (or copy the file to the workstation's hard disk, if the workstation has a hard disk). 2. Make sure that the workstation's path line includes both the drive and directory where RIPLMEM.EXE is located. Then, following the path line, insert a line that reads: RIPLMEM If you place the file on a network drive, make sure the workstation connects to the network before it attempts to start RIPLMEM.EXE. 3. Restart the workstation. RIPLMEM.EXE should start at this time. 4. Use the /3 switch to start Windows 3.00 in 386 enhanced mode on the workstation. For example: win /3 To use RIPLMEM.EXE properly: - Make sure RIPLMEM.EXE is on a drive that Windows can always gain access to. In other words, don't put the file on a drive that can be accessed only while the workstation is being started. - Do not move the RIPLMEM.EXE file while RIPLMEM is running. If you do, the program will be disabled, and you will need to restart the workstation to restart the program.
