Learning to manage a bit more memory

Article Abstract:

Memory Commander 2.18, $99.95, an operating system enhancement from V Communications, San Jose, CA, is designed to manage memory on MS-DOS microcomputers. Such microcomputers ordinarily encounter problems managing memory of more than 640Kbytes. Memory Manager allocates memory depending on the requirements of applications. Getting the most from Memory Manager, or a program like it, can be a difficult and complicated task. Difficulties encountered by the reviewer are described. Memory Commander requires a microcomputer with an 80386SX, 80386DX or 80486 microprocessor, MS-DOS 3.0 or better, a hard disk or a network disk, and at least 512Kbytes of extended memory. A megabyte of extended memory is recommended. Separately, a book is mentioned and recommended, 'DOS for Dummies,' by Dan Gookin ($16.95: IDG Books Worldwide).
