COMAREA
Purpose: Sets the DOS communication area location.
Syntax: COMAREA = <STANDARD|HIGH>
By default: COMAREA = HIGH
Note:
COMAREA = STANDARD instructs the system to use the memory area between
0050:0000 and 0070:000 for its internal purposes. As the PTS-DOS uses
this memory in not completely the same way as with other DOS versions, some
programs will not operate if COMAREA=STANDARD. When WINDOWS=ON, as it is set
by default, the COMAREA=STANDARD is not executed and it is only permissible
in case if
WINDOWS=OFF
COMAREA=STANDARD
Allocating communication area higher than standard requires 530 bytes
additionaly, which are always in the lower memory area.
