Hi Peter
I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding your setup correctly but a couple
of suggestions spring to mind… (sorry if they are silly and you already
checked… and er no it isnt a good idea to run it in a window.)
There is a setting in OS/2 config.sys (I forget right now which I'll check if
you cant find it) that needs to be set to SWAP before OS/2 will swap out.
Is OS/2 doing any paging at all can you tell?
The other thing is I think there used to be a problem with Himem not
recognising more than 64Mb ram. I think that's for IBM dos V6.3 . (I seem
to remember seeing a fix on their UK BBS for this)
I'm grasping at straws for you here though…
I do have a good text file for optimising OS2 I'll take a look in there to see
if theres any help. (I could e-mail it if you want it or upload it if anyone
else wants it.)
