The performance of EMS boards will vary depending on the EMS hardware
and software selected. PATHWORKS for DOS software includes a utility,
EMSSPEED, to measure the performance of EMS boards in a PATHWORKS en-
vironment.
PATHWORKS for DOS software supports the use of Expanded Memory Spec-
ification (EMS) applications that are Version 4.0 compliant. Every ef-
fort has been made to ensure the software adheres to the EMS, Version
4.0 specification. However, individual applications may have inter-
preted the specification differently and, therefore, may not function
in Digital's PATHWORKS for DOS network environment.
Background EMS applications are usually device drivers and terminate
and stay resident programs (TSRs). When PATHWORKS for DOS software is
loaded into EMS with other background EMS applications, unpredictable
results may occur.
Some EMS drivers and disk caching programs provided by PC vendors may
conflict with HIMEM.SYS, which provides XMS support.
DOS Version 5.0 Task Switcher API Support
PATHWORKS for DOS supports only those applications that support the
DOS Version 5.0 Task Switcher Application Programming Interface (API).
Every effort has been made to ensure that the PATHWORKS for DOS soft-
ware adheres to the DOS Version 5.0 Task Switcher API. However, in-
dividual vendors' interpretation of the specification may vary and,
