Buy more memory...
For speed you want to run BC++ from STANDARD mode windows (win /s).
Borland suggests TKERNEL be given 2MB so that doesn't leave you anything
for windows itself muchless smartdrive...
With 4MB of RAM:
---------------
you can give smartdive, say 512KB, in config.sys:
device=C:\windows\smardrv.sys 512 512
and TKERNEL 2MB, enter:
tkernel hi=yes kilos=2048
win /s
With 8MB of RAM:
---------------
You got it made. I use the following setup so that windows swaps
application files to my ramdisk, thus switching from Borland IDE to
windows (and vica-versa) with ALT-TAB takes say 1-2 seconds
instead of 10-15. In config.sys:
device=C:\windows\smartdrv.sys 1024 512
device=C:\windows\ramdrive.sys 2048 /e
In autoexec.bat
REM set windows "temp" to my ramdrive.
set temp=D:\
And then I execute this batch file to start up windows for
Borland IDE:
@echo off
tkernel hi=yes kilos=2048
REM the following removes windows application swap files.
REM (they start with "~") from ram disk "D:". Otherwise,
REM if you abort windows, windows won't remove these at
REM start of a new session.
if NOT X%TEMP%==X del %TEMP%~*.*
win /s
tkernel rem
