RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMM386.exe

Hi, Lee:

I simply used a menu driven config.sys file. If I'm running TurboCNC, I
simply don't even load EMM386. If I'm doing some development or other work,
then I select an option to load it.

And, yes, this is under DOS.

|SYNTAX
|EMM386 [on|off|auto] [w=on|off]

|Enables or disables EMM386 expanded-memory support on a computer with

|QUESTION:
|
|Does one turn EMM386 by issueing this command at the C:\ prompt?
|
|C:\EMM386 off
|
|And would it be correct that one should never try to do this in a DOS
|window?
