CF512.EXE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This program allows the COMPAQ System Configuration Program, CF.EXE
(version 1.10 preferred), to run on a COMPAQ SYSTEMPRO which has its
base memory set to 512K.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
COMPAQ SYSTEMPRO
COMPAQ MS-DOS Version 3.0 or greater
WHO SHOULD USE:
Use this program if you encounter any problems (running out of
system memory) while running the System Configuration Program, CF.EXE
on the COMPAQ SYSTEMPRO with 512K base memory.
HOW TO USE:
1. Copy CF512.EXE and CPQ$ETUP.OVL from the distribution diskette to
your COMPAQ System Configuration diskette.
2. Use DOS command "rename" to change the name of the CPQSETUP.OVL
file (on your COMPAQ System Configuration diskette) to CPQSETUP.
3. Use any editor to change your CONFIG.SYS to the following:
DEVICE = A:\HIMEM.EXE (see note)
SHELL = A:\CF512.EXE
NOTE: HIMEM.EXE should be on your COMPAQ System configuration or
User Programs diskettes. If you do not have it, contact your
COMPAQ authorized dealer for a User Programs upgrades. In the
interim, you can remove this line form your CONFIG.SYS and run
only CF512.EXE.
4. You can run CF.EXE by booting from your COMPAQ System
Configuration diskette (as usual).
5. To save memory, CF512.EXE no longer uses the dispatcher, SD.EXE as
the shell. Therefore, you will need to run DIAGNOSTICS of your
computer from your DIAGNOSTICS diskettes.
Comments:
You can enter any command line parameters that you would have
used to run CF.EXE.
To set your SYSTEMPRO base memory to 512K, please contact your
COMPAQ authorized dealer for the program, CPQMEM.EXE, version
1.0.
EFFECTS ON YOUR SYSTEM:
While running CF.EXE this program provides an extra 64K to DOS
starting at 0E000h. If HIMEM.EXE is loaded first, it will also give
DOS another 64K in high memory.
