I make no claims for the fitness of this program, except for the fact that it works flawlessly on my system so it should do the same on yours. I am not or will not be responsible for any damage caused to you, your system or anyone else from any actions whether appropriate or inappropriate. I hate these disclaimers as much as the rest of you. Problems: Out of Memory 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This can happen quite easily with all of the added functionality with PCBoard. Some of the ways to correct this are to: 1. Decrease the size of your overlays by using PCBoards OVLSIZE.EXE program that came with PCBoard. 2. Increase the amount of available memory below the 640k mark by loading your programs into the higher memory regions of your computer. 3. If you're running a memory manager you could include your VGA memory as an area to use for your DOS programs for you won't need that capability with a text based program. I keep getting an error that says "Unble to Allocate Memory (SCRIPT BUFFER)" 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 What this is was just described above as being "Out of memory". If you receive this error it means the program doesn't have enough memory to run. I try to run the program and it returns to the Command Prompt 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� There's two possibilities that could be happening here. They are: 1. You don't have the command in CMD.LST going to the right file and/or subdirectory. 2. You don't have enough memory to be running this program. I keep getting file so-and-so not found, program aborting... 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 This is simple! It will tell you what file it can't find and all you have to do is either create that file or get the original file out of the packed archive. I've found a bug in the program. Now what do I do? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Simple again! Do your best in describing the problem, how to recreate it, your system setup and exactly the best idea of what's going wrong so that we can fix it quickly. I want a feature added to the program. How do I get it added? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Write me a message on my board, Saltair or the Fido PCBoard e-mail conference with a description of you want and I'll add it to the wishlist. Once it's on the wishlist and I can get around to it I'll add the feature that you request. In fact if I get many requests for a certain feature the sooner it will be added to the program. What's the best way to setup PCBoard and OS/2? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 As an OS/2 user myself I've found the following setup to be the best overall while providing me with alot of memory for PCBoard to run in. I strongly suggest you use the SIO driver by Ray Gwinn for they will improve the capability of your multitasking with OS/2. CONFIG.SYS file. The following are my suggestions for your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. - I suggest a 30meg swap file with OS/2 Warp. Yes that's right 30meg. I have 16 meg of ram on my system and have tested from 0 meg to 50 meg and have found 30 meg to be the optimal setting. Program Settings. The following are my suggestions for your program settings. - Audio_Adapter_Sharing None - DOS_Device C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS - DOS_High On - DOS_UMB On - DPMI_DOS_API Disabled - Memory_Limit 0 - EMS_Frame_Location Auto - High_OS_Map_Region 0 - Low_OS_Map_Region 384 - Memory_Limit 512 - Idle_Sensitivity 75 - Mem_Include_Regions A000-B7FF - XMS_Handles 32 - XMS_Memory_Limit 0 - XMS_Minimum_HMA 0
