For DOS versions 5.0 and above TYPE: “
MEM
<Enter>”
For DOS versions prior to 5.0 TYPE: “
CHKDSK
<Enter>”
If you do not have enough memory to execute the software, there are several
techniques for freeing up DOS memory. You should remove any unneeded
TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident programs). If your DOS version is 5.0
or above, you may alternatively attempt to load these programs into “high”
memory. If you have a version of DOS prior to 5.0, it is recommended that
you upgrade to the latest version. If the above steps do not provide the
required free memory, there are third-party memory management tools
(such as Qualitas' 386 MAX
TM
) that may be of assistance.
2.3VIDEO CONSIDERATIONS
The PCX5 software will function with any video card that adheres to the EGA
or VGA graphics standards. If necessary, make sure that the proper
graphics driver is installed in your system, according to the type of monitor
and video card being used.
The PCX5 software automatically detects the presence of an EGA or VGA
graphics adaptor. Some graphics adaptors may not be correctly detected.
You may force the software into EGA mode by specifying the “-EGA” flag on
the command line, as shown below:
“
PCX5 -EGA
<Enter>”
2.4 MOUSE CONSIDERATIONS
A mouse is not required to run the PCX5 software, although some
features require a mouse. Operations requiring a mouse include:
· Distance calculation between two points
· Zoom Window operation
· Pan Window operation
PCX5 software will work with any Microsoft
®
-compatible mouse or any
pointing device (e.g., trackball, light pen) that emulates a Microsoft
®
mouse.
If you plan to use a mouse with the PCX5 program, make sure the proper
mouse driver is installed in your system.
