-ems option in V5 on DOS
890802-wlb01 There is an undocumented option in V5 DOS Progress. If the user is
running with a real mode module (normal or chunky) and he still needs
more memory he can use the -ems option.
This option puts the edit buffer space in expanded - not protected -
memory. This can be used by people that only have 1 Mb of RAM in
their PC. In order to use this option you simply replace the -e xx on
the command line with -ems.
The -ems option automatically gives the user 64K of edit buffer
space. You do not need to include a size for the buffer space (ie
-ems 64).
The reason this feature is undocumented is that it has never been
through QA. Use it at your own risk and explain to users that if they
have any errors while using -ems they will need to try it again with
-e 64.
