I use an old (1982) DOS based spreadsheet program called
Multiplan which was the first Microsoft spread sheet. I
use Excel for a lot of items but the Multiplan has a
number of features that I like that are not in Excel.
The multiplan runs on my 1.7 meg RAM XP system except ONE
spreadsheet that is too big. I get an INSUFFICENT MEMORY
message. I resort to keeping a WIN98 system (768 MEG
RAM) that I use for this spreadsheet.
Since the spreadsheet loads on the 768 MEG system and not
on the1.7 MEG XP system I know that my problem with the
XP system is not lack of memory but improper memory
management.
I went into the CONFIG.NT file to see if I could edit or
add a line for the EXPANDED MEMORY MANAGER. The
CONFIG.NT file has instrutions for using the EMM command
but does not have a pure example of the syntax. I have
tried about 6 different syntax variations but got error
messages on the load up. I went on the MICROSOFT
knowledge base looking for help but found nothing . Do
you have any idea of how I enable the EMM???
