DOS ain't dead

EMS memory and XP (Users)

The memory setup in for the XP DOSBox is controlled by a .PIF file.
I use different shortcuts for testing, and here is a shortcut used for Doszip and DZEMM. This have no effect on the global memory setup, so the [Run]->command or cmd will not use DZEMM in this case.

In the Memory tab I set everything to Auto except from the [Use EMS memory] option which I set to None

The Advanced setting (Program tab):

Autoexec filename: [K:\dzemm\AUTOEXEC.NT]
Config filename:   [K:\dzemm\CONFIG.NT]


The K:\dzemm\AUTOEXEC.NT file:

lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3


The K:\dzemm\CONFIG.NT file:

dos=high, umb
device=D:\windows\system32\himem.sys
device=D:\windows\system32\dzemm.sys
files=40


You may then have different configurations for different programs without changing the %SystemRoot%\system32\config.nt and autoexec.nt files.
