Performance Considerations / Where to Go From Here

1.4 Performance Considerations

You may notice a speed degradation when you use the code generation tools with DOS or Windows 3.1x. This speed degradation may occur when you use DOS with the tools to get appropriate host memory support.

If you encounter error messages when you use the tools on a PC with DOS, run PMINFO to determine your system configuration before you contact tech- nical support. For more information about PMINFO, see Appendix A, Trouble- shooting DOS systems.

1.5 Where to Go From Here

Your code generation tools are now installed on your DOS or Windows 3.1x system. Now you should do each of the following tasks:

-Go to Chapter 5, Getting Started With the Code Generation Tools. This chapter provides you with an overview of how to invoke and use the assembler, linker, and compiler.

-Read Chapter 6, Release Notes. This chapter explains the new features included in release 1.20 of the code generation tools.

-Use Appendix A, Troubleshooting DOS Systems, as necessary. This appendix lists kernel and DOS/4Gerror messages and explains how

you can resolve the messages.
