I really don't see where adjusting LISPSTACK could effect the system shell. I am not surprised that an ADI is effecting the limit of your SHELL, however we have the Twin Focus here on a 386, 2meg Vdisk get a 512k shell. It may be your EMM.SYS effecting your environment.…
Jamie, In speaking to the Verticom tech I was told to use ACADFREERAM at 12, and to make my LISPSTACK >20000 in an attempt to solve some problems I have been experiencing with the Twin Focus setup……..so I noticed that my shells to PCTOOLS did'nt have enough memory released to…
Jeff, Yes it is possible that many have purchased boards that will never be able to use the AUI effectively. I have seen some attempts (by boards that will remain nameless) that I would never use the ADI/AUI due to the slow speed. Now they do offer higher res and…
#AUI Feasibility
Message #22243
Jamie, I haven't heard the word feasibility associated with Rel. 9 drivers, I have, however, noticed the problems the board manufacturers are having in accomodating the AUI. Is it possible that there are some board manufacturers that are going to decide it isn't feasible to develop these drivers? Could we,…
Kevin, are you using the QEMM.SYS to build the 640K? It is very possible that method is causing AutoCAD to think there isn't enough room for the size shell you want. Is there a way to set up the memory by switch? I would try that. Let me know your…
That is an interesting observation, but I am not sure that it is true. The things that are known to effect the shell space are TSR programs (ADIs, Sidekick, CEMM), disk space, graphic cards (like EGA) and available system memory. What kind of results are you getting and what system…
Kevin — Isn't QEMM.SYS a TSR driver, and isn't that the machine that frees up less memory during a SHELL? In some cases, I think that both the size and the location of the TSR in conventional memory affect the amount of memory available for an AutoCAD SHELL. — Brad…
Yup they are identicel system for system. The only difference being one uses an AboveBoard switched to backfill the 512 to 640K while the other uses QEMM.SYS to backfill using the MEM20 board extended. No TSR's are allowed, and besides the only trouble I find with those is on initial…
Jamie, I've been doing some system re-arranging to find the REAL bugs with my Verticom Twin Focus, and it appears that the SHELL command is affected by the ACADFREERAM setting…..ie more freeram….more shell space available…… Y/N>: ?
Sorry, I don't have any new info regarding the Mylex. I hear it is a hot board, but perhaps the AUI for it isn't feasible. I take it you have contacted them? Jamie
I think the first question was more if a wish. I will pass that part along to the Product Managers. As for the second question, you were on the right track, one thing that can effect the amount of shell you can perform is the available system memory and what…
ADI DRIVERS
Message #22097
JAMIE I HAVE HAD REL 9 FOR ABOUT 5 MO. NOW AND STILL CANNOT USE THE PULL DOWN MENUS BECAUSE MYLEX AND NEC MULTISYNC HAVE NOT UPDATED THEIR DRIVERS TO SUPPORT THE NEW VERSION. DO YOU HAVE ANY INVORMATION AS TO WHEN THESE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE

I work in the facility department here at Intel and we use the AEC packages. I have been given information that you all there are going to develop a Planning AEC package. I would like to tell you of a problem we are having with the present packages. It has…

Randy — Yep, sounds like that file should be copied to another directory during installation, so that it will be available via a simple menu pick without having to futz around. There might be more than one file on the Sun release disks that should be moved. Hans is going…
Randy — Shows you how much I know. The Californian used to be a $200 a month flophouse. I'm glad to see they rebuilt the hotel, it certainly has a great location (at the lower end of State Street, half a block from the pier, if I recall). Well, gosh,…

Brad–Are there any plans in the future releases of the unix-based acad to move the "set-up.lsp" file from /usr/acad/lisp to /usr/acad/dwgs where it might do some good?? Are we the only dealer that runs acad from /acad/dwgs?? I usually come along to do the training after the install has been…
