EMS/XMS Limit (Dos only)

DiskDupe will use all available memory to store the disk image before using the hard disk as virtual memory. If you are running DiskDupe under a multitasker such as DESQview, Windows, or OS/2, you may want to limit the amount of memory it uses to reserve it for other programs.

DiskDupe first uses all available conventional RAM memory. If more memory is required, it uses expanded(EMS) memory and extended(XMS) memory, in that order.

The default settings is "-1", for no limit. To change this, select Global from the Setup menu and enter the appropriate settings. Use 0 for none at all and any number 1 or above to specify the amount of memory to use. Memory is specified in thousands of bytes or "k". To limit memory use to 1Mb (1024k), enter 1024.
