README of EMSHANDL.EXE


Product:       DR DOS 6.0

Description:

This is an optional version of the EMM386.SYS (ver 2.11) driver.  This
version will support up to 255 EMS handles instead of the 64 handles
supported by the standard version (ver 2.1) of the driver.

NOTE:  After installing this file and rebooting, EMM386.SYS will have a
slightly larger footprint in the Upper Memory region.  This change may mean
that fewer of your drivers or Terminate and Stay Resident programs (TSR's)
will be able to load into that area.  If this is case on your machine,
those drivers or TSR's will load by default into conventional memory, thus
reducing your available conventional memory.

ASSUMPTIONS:

1.  The file EMM386.255 is in the root directory of your C:\  drive.

2.  TaskMAX is not loaded.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Make a backup copy of EMM386.SYS

             Type: COPY C:\DRDOS\EMM386.SYS C:\DRDOS\EMM386.OLD
             Press <ENTER>

3.  Replace the original EMM386.SYS with the patched EMM386.255


             Type: COPY C:\EMM386.255 C:\DRDOS\EMM386.SYS
             Press <ENTER>

4. Verify the copied file is the correct size, date and checksum

        Type: CD \DRDOS
        From the C prompt:
             Type: XDIR EMM386.SYS /C
             Press <ENTER>

        The following message will display:

--a--- 40,010 12-16-92 2:55a EB72 c:emm386.sys

NOTE: In Archive attribute (a) may be set, however it is not a required
attribute.

5.  Reboot the computer.
