Installing FOLDER.SYS in UMB or HMA
INSTALLING FOLDER.SYS DRIVER IN UMB (386 PC)
With IBM compatibles equipped with 386 or higher processor the
FOLDER.SYS driver can be installed in the Upper Memory Blocks.
To do this:
- add DOS=UBM command to the CONFIG.PTS (CONFIG.SYS) and the command for
Himem386.sys driver eclosed in PTS-DOS package;
- replace the DEVICE command for FOLDER.SYS with the command DEVICEHIGH,
e.g.:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM386.sys
DOS=UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\FOLDER.SYS A: D: E:
INSTALLING FOLDER.SYS DRIVER IN HMA (286 PC)
It is possible to install FOLDER.SYS driver into the High Memory Area
in IBM compatibles equipped with 286 processor and extended memory.
To proceed:
- add the command for Himem286.sys driver to the configuration file
CONFIG.PTS (CONFIG.SYS),
- add /H option to the DEVICE command for FOLDER.SYS driver, e.g.:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM286.sys
DEVICE=C:\FOLDER.SYS A: D: E: /H
If you have no Himem286.sys driver installed, or no extended memory (or
it is not large enough to install FOLDER.SYS driver because you have already
taken up the space by loading there the PTS-DOS system using DOS=HIGH
command) you will be notified while trying to install the FOLDER.SYS driver:
Fault installing in HMA ... Resuming
and the driver will remain loaded into the conventional memory. In this case
it is recommended to load PTS-DOS into the conventional memory and install
FOLDER.SYS into the HMA, that will free up to 7 Kb of RAM.
If the installation of FOLDER.SYS to the HMA runs without problems the
following message appears on the screen:
Installing driver in HMA ... OK
