Quick Libraries in Basic Do Not Use Expanded Memory (58658)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS
- Microsoft Basic Professional Development System for MS-DOS 7.0
- Microsoft Basic Professional Development System for MS-DOS 7.1
This article was previously published under Q58658 SUMMARY
When using a Quick library in VBDOS.EXE (included with Microsoft
Visual Basic for MS-DOS) or QBX.EXE (included with Microsoft Basic
PDS for MS-DOS), the Quick library is always placed in conventional
memory. If you have expanded memory (as defined in the Lotus/Intel/
Microsoft [LIM] version 4.0 Expanded Memory Specification [EMS]),
VBDOS.EXE and QBX.EXE utilize this expanded memory for loaded source
code segments that are smaller than 16K; however, Quick libraries
are always placed in conventional memory.
Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and Microsoft Basic
PDS for MS-DOS, versions 7.0 or 7.1 are the only Microsoft Basic
products that support expanded memory, so this is not a
consideration in earlier versions of the Microsoft Basic Compiler
or QuickBasic.
The information in this article is included with the Help file
provided with the Standard and Professional Editions of Microsoft
Visual Basic for MS-DOS, version 1.0.
