  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

To set aside virtual memory for Lotus 1-2-3 to use when running under Microsoft Windows in enhanced mode, add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file 

   SET 123MEMSIZE=<m>
where <m> is the amount of memory in kilobytes you want Windows to allocate for Lotus 1-2-3.

MORE INFORMATION

When you install Lotus 1-2-3 release 3.1, a PIF file called 123.PIF is copied into the directory in which Lotus resides. If you do not install Lotus into the default directory (C:\123R3), you must change the path in the Program Filename entry in the 123.PIF file to the path specified when you installed Lotus.

If you have problems with an invalid path error, make sure the correct path to the Lotus directory has been added to the path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.

The Lotus product included here is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
