Description:

Geoworks version 1.2 works fine under DR DOS but it does require

        some special configuration. Files need to be set at 120. This

        may seem like a high figure but it will only use about 9K of RAM

        and if you are using EMM386 no impact need occur on conventional

        memory. Ensemble will not even begin with files equal to 30.


        TaskMAX can be initialized only with CTRL-ESC. No other hot keys

can be used. Also end-users may find that they have no keyboard

        in their other tasks. We have also received reports that even if

        it does switch TaskMAX will eventually fail. At this time we

        cannot recommend the use of TaskMAX with Geoworks Ensemble

        v.1.2.


Any version of Geoworks prior to 1.2 will not work under DR DOS 6.


        Geoworks uses XMS memory when available and will use the HMA if

        it is available.


        There have been some reports that Geoworks will not run when

        SuperPCK is loaded into upper memory (/&U+). If you are having

        trouble loding Ensemble try the switch /&U-. Also if you are

        using SuperPCK in expanded memory (/A+) advanced disk transfers

        must be turned off with a /H-.
