Modifying the CONFIG.SYS File
If you have a word processing program that can save a file as a
text-only file (also called an ASCII file), you can use it to add
the memory manager to the CONFIG.SYS file. Follow these
steps:
1. Start your word processing program.
2. Load the file CONFIG.SYS and add the following command
line:
DEVICE=EMM286.SYS
For information on optional parameters, see “Using
EMM286.SYS options,” below.
Note
If the EMM286.SYS file is in a directory other than the
root directory and you have not entered that directory in
a PATH command (in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, for
example), you need to include the pathname for
EMM286.SYS on the DEVICE= command line. For
example, if EMM286.SYS is in a directory called \DRV
on drive C, include the pathname like this:
DEVICE=C:\DRV\EMM286.SYS
If you plan to use any of your expanded memory to create
a virtual disk with the MS-DOS VDISK device driver, be
sure to insert the DEVICE=EMM286.SYS command line
before the VDISK command line in your CONFIG.SYS
file. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for information
about VDISK.
3. Save the file as an ASCII text file.
4. Reset the computer.
