HIMEM DOCUMENTATION

-------------------

Description

-----------

HIMEM.SYS is an extended memory manager provided so that CodeView can

take advantage of all your computer's available memory when running

under DOS on an 80286 or 80386 machine with expanded memory.

Usage

-----

DEVICE=[d:][path]HIMEM.SYS [options]

The most common way to use HIMEM.SYS is to include the following line

in your CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS

The following options are also available:

/HMAMIN=h

/NUMHANDLES=n

The /HMAMIN option allows controlled access to high memory by

specifying (in <h>) the minimum amount of memory a terminate-and-

stay-resident (TSR) program can use in high memory.

The /NUMHANDLES option sets (in <n>) the maximum number of extended

memory block handles that can be used at any given time.
