That's not all. There is also a line in VM.CFG that seems to
default to:
MEMORY 4000
This has to be reset to a number just slightly below the actual
free memory. I used 'MEMORY 580.'
After using 'USPC/n' to configure the printer, USPRINT worked,
and reported having to swap 438K, which is presumably the minimum free
memory you can get away with (a few TSRs might go back now...) -- it
worked like a dog, but it's supposed to on a system without extended
memory. The thing is, it did work.
Thank you for the suggestion. At least I don't feel so bad for
not seeing it in the manual. It ISN'T in the manual!
