Hello Jim,

The fact that the files reside on a Novell Network is not relevant.

I wonder if the config.sys could be improved? These settings are allegedly handled automatically by Windows at boot time, but I have found that it makes a difference in how much low memory is available to DOS apps. Adjust FILES setting accordingly.

rem config.sys file
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=100

>Does anyone know how to prevent Foxpro for DOS (FOXR.EXE) from running out of memory? The program being used is a large DOS app that it is not convenient to rewrite, so the DOS emulator in Windows XP would be ideal. The program will not run in Win 98/ XP or Me. Two things occur: 'Insufficient memory' and 'Not enough File Handles'. One message stated that there was not enough memory below 640K available. This is being run on a Novell network - perhaps memory is chewed up there. (All aspects of the program work fine under Win95 but the client does not want to keep using that platform and they have a new, faster computer anyway).
