PERSONAL NetWare 1.0

ABSTRACT:

This document explains how much additional memory is allocated to
VLM.EXE to access a PERSONAL NetWare 1.0 server, assuming you are
already accessing a Novell 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x server using VLM.EXE.

ISSUE

To access a PERSONAL NetWare 1.0 server, a NetWare client using
VLM.EXE must load additional VLM modules.  This document will not
address how this is done; however, it will address the additional
memory usage that will result.

"Additional memory usage" refers to the memory the system will
need above what the VLMs would have already been using to access
Bindery and Directory Services on NetWare servers.  The amounts
listed below are accurate for the workstation from which they
came.  However, due to the large amount of variables involved
with accessing NetWare servers, individual workstations may see
some variation.


TOTAL MEMORY DIFFERENCE

In simplest terms, the DOS redirector, VLM.EXE, will be 8240
bytes larger when supporting access to PERSONAL NetWare servers. 
This may be broken up into various areas of memory, depending on
what types are available.  Unless otherwise stated, the following
discussion assumes that VLM.EXE is not being loaded with a HILOAD
or LOADHIGH command.


WORKSTATIONS WITH CONVENTIONAL AND XMS or EMS MEMORY

2576 bytes will be allocated from conventional memory.  The rest
of the additional memory needed will be allocated from EMS or XMS
memory, depending upon the parameters used to load VLM.EXE.



WORKSTATIONS WITH CONVENTIONAL, XMS or EMS, and UPPER RAM

48 bytes will be allocated from conventional memory.  2528 bytes
will be allocated from upper memory.  The rest of the additional
memory needed will be allocated from EMS or XMS memory, depending
upon the parameters used to load VLM.EXE.

If VLM.EXE is being loaded with HILOAD or LOADHIGH, the 48 bytes
specified as going into conventional memory will go into upper
memory instead.
