MORE INFORMATION

[STANDARD] SECTION

The [standard] section contains settings that are specific to running Windows applications in standard mode.

The [standard] section can contain the following settings:

Int28Filter=<number> Default: 10 Purpose: Specifies how many INT28 messages that Windows should reflect 

         from standard mode to real mode. Windows will reflect every
         nth message, where n is the value of this setting. Increasing
         this value may reduce Windows' interference with background
         communications.
To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file. NetHeapSize=<kilobytes> Default: 8 Purpose: Specifies the size (in kilobytes) of the buffers that 
         standard-mode Windows allocates in conventional memory for
         transferring data over a network. Some networks require a
         larger buffer than the default. Increasing this value will
         diminish the amount of memory available to applications.
To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file. ReserveLowMemory=<kilobytes> Default: 0 Purpose: Specifies the amount of conventional memory to be reserved 
         for use by something other than Windows running in standard
         mode.
To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
