Using Stacker with LAN Manager
If you are using Stacker® with LAN Manager, the lines in CONFIG.SYS
that specify Stacker should come before the line that begins device=
and contains \protman.dos. This allows for the possibility that the
network drivers may be on either the stacked or unstacked portion of
the hard drive. Drivers that are loaded before Stacker must exist on the
unstacked portion of the hard drive. The Stacker lines will look
something like this:
MS-DOS Memory Management
You must specify the following information for both Basic and
Enhanced workstations.
Optimize Memory
If a computer has more than 640K of memory or is running MS-DOS
5.0 or later, during installation the Setup program prompts you to
choose whether or not memory usage should be optimized on this
computer. Memory optimization involves the installation or updating of
expanded or extended memory managers on the computer. You can
choose yes or no; the default is yes.
Using a memory manager with LAN Manager makes additional space
available in MS-DOS conventional memory (the first 640K of memory
in the computer). If you don’t use a memory manager, LAN Manager
must load all of its software into conventional memory, using about
50K for LAN Manager Basic or about 120K for LAN Manager
Enhanced.
LAN Manager 2.2 includes two memory managers for MS-DOS:
HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE.
HIMEM.SYS
For extended memory, the memory from 1 MB (1024K) to 16 MB
(16384K) on 286 and higher computers. The high-memory area
(HMA) is the first 64K of extended memory; only one application at a
time can use it. HIMEM.SYS coordinates access to the HMA.
Extended memory is also known as extended memory specification
(XMS) memory.
