Japheth, I noted your reply to Eric Auer on FD-User re: the idea of over 4-GB for DOS, in which you wrote:
> PAE paging most likely isn't needed, the simpler approach > "32-bit paging with 4 MB pages" should do as well. What is this?? I have seen the Intel specs for PAE memory but I did not see this. Is it an "option" that I missed?? I had medical trouble last week, and so I did not remember the DeepBurner program I use. If I had, I would not have commented re: using over 4-GB to Bernd Blaauw, and I might have suggested sooner that he obtain/create a program same as DeepBurner, with simultaneous I-O capability. But, my thinking was clouded by another BAD hospital "experience"! As I note in UIDE's README, other HIMEM/EMM drivers aren't "under current maintenance" any more, and the task of over 4-GB will likely "fall to you and me" only, in our HIMEMX/ JEMM386/JEMMEX and XMGR/UIDE/RDISK. My ideas are in fact "divided" -- Applications and file-sizes continue to grow, BUT maybe better user management of 4-GB could suffice for DOS systems. So I wanted to ask: What do you think about over 4-GB for DOS?? Is it needed, might be needed at a later time, or may NEVER be needed?? P.S. (off topic): If you EVER come to the U.S. and need medical help, get BACK on an airplane, and get treatment AT HOME, if you can!! The hospital doctors REFUSED to LISTEN TO ME, that I had only a food problem, likely re: "salts" used to preserve fast-food (same thing 18 months ago, which I felt was a "fluke"!), and DESPITE my having overheard nurses LAUGHING re: "Gas-station food again"!! That and their LOW service level (BAD overcrowding; many patients lying only in hallway beds having REAL problems as noted by "Code 1, Red HALL 1/8/.."!!) finally made me CHECK MYSELF OUT of there, go home, and "sleep it off"!! My kidneys "flushed me out", as the LAUGHING nurses made me expect, and thus my "cheap medical remedy" is NO MORE fast food -- one "fluke", maybe, but two proves I should NEVER eat such POISON again!! And, WORSE than lawyers, U.S. "medicine" now has only ONE rule: "All we want is MONEY"!! I have no medical insurance due to asthma and other past problems (would cost me TOO MUCH!!), so I was treated before as if I "will not pay", and I must expect so again. 98% of U.S. uninsured end up "deadbeats" for reasons you can guess, thus I am AUTOMATICALLY one also, and their "credit manager" would not even SEE ME before, re: my bank/stock statements, credit rating, etc.!! If you have ANY options at all, AVOID U.S. "medicine" -- To say it now STINKS is in fact a HUGE understatement!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
