WPInfo - Different Values Displayed For The R |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When the customer loads Carousel version 5.0 and then loads WordPerfect from the Work Area Option within Carousel, WPInfo returns different values for RAM Memory. Solutions: The Carousel software package has taken over the memory allocation, allowing several separate memory areas. These separate memory areas allow several individual programs to be run at the same time on one machine. Carousel does this by creating several 0-640 false memory areas within the memory available on the system. The software then allows each Work Area, based on the memory available, to become a separate DOS area (like creating a RAM Machine) and run application programs. When the customer runs WP, they are running it from one of the work areas made by Carousel. Carousel reports to the application how much total memory is in the given work area and how much is available. This information is passed to any application requesting it. When WPInfo requests the amount of total memory, WPInfo is unaware that it is requesting the size of the area of memory controlled by Carousel. Therefore, WPInfo simply receives the information returned to it as if DOS was in control. Because the size of the work areas defined (both Total and Available) by Carousel vary from work area to work area, WPInfo will not report the same values. It will report, however, the value for the total work area and total available as defined by Carousel. |
