What is memory management software?
This discussion of memory management software and memory exclusion is
directed towards the MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows for Workgroups 3.x, and
Windows 95 operating systems. Please be aware that you do not need this
software with Windows NT.
Memory management software optimizes the use of memory in your computer. If
your computer has expanded memory (EMS) or extended memory (XMS)
installed, you will be using memory management software. Memory management
software programs supervise the use of extended memory so that applications do
not try to use the same memory simultaneously.
Configure the memory manager to exclude (not use) memory addresses required
by your interface hardware. Determine the specific range of memory addresses
used in order to prevent memory conflicts.
