This article was previously published under Q63279 SUMMARY
To run a program compiled by dBASE, such as Remote Control's Telemagic,
with Microsoft Windows, the following line must be entered in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
MORE INFORMATION
The dBASE compiler requires identifiers to write to the screen. The
program Clipper is run by dBASE to reserve expanded memory for these
identifiers. When a dBASE-compiled program is run by a Windows program
information file (PIF), a memory conflict between Windows and Clipper
develops.
By entering the above line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, Clipper is told to
reserve conventional memory rather than expanded memory for the
identifiers. The V12; section reserves 12K of conventional memory. The E000
section stops Clipper from seeing any memory above this address. As a
result, it does not see expanded memory and uses conventional memory
instead.
NOTE: Microsoft does not recommend running program compilers under the
Windows environment.
