Conventional Memory Change with WFWG and DYNAMIC=YES Setting (90328)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q90328 SUMMARY
After you install Windows for Workgroups on a computer running
Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1, you may notice a change in
available conventional memory.
MORE INFORMATION
This may be caused by having DYNAMIC=YES in the [PROTMAN] section of
the PROTOCOL.INI file. The DYNAMIC=YES command causes PROTMAN.DOS to
allocate memory to facilitate demand protocol architecture (DPA).
Because Windows for Workgroups does not provide DPA functionality,
this memory is wasted.
To recover the memory used for DPA, change DYNAMIC=NO, or remove the
line all together.
DPA was first implemented with LAN Manager 2.1, and PROTMAN 2.0.
DPA allows for the dynamic loading/binding and unloading/unbinding
of protocols under MS-DOS.
