VLM-1.00-34: The loaded VLM.EXE file indicates it is unsafe to execute an unload for VLM number <number>. VLM.EXE will not be unloaded. Unload all memory resident programs (TSRs) that were loaded after the VLM.EXE file and then try to unload VLM.EXE.

Explanation: An attempt was made to unload the VLM.EXE file using the / U parameter. The loaded VLM.EXE file refused to unload. This usually is caused by interrupts being used after the VLM.EXE file was loaded. Another possible cause is that a VLM™ program is in an unsafe state to unload.

Action: Unload all the TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs that were loaded after the VLM.EXE file; then try to unload VLM.EXE. Make sure all loaded VLM programs are in use before unloading.

VLM-1.00-36: The VLM.EXE file cannot use expanded memory (EMS). VLM.EXE will use an alternate memory scheme.

Explanation:An attempt was made to load the VLM.EXE file in expanded memory (EMS) using the /ME parameter. Either no LIM EMS 4.0 expanded memory manager is present or insufficient expanded memory is available to load the VLM™ program. The VLM.EXE file attempts to use an alternate type of memory, either extended (XMS) or conventional, before failing to load.

Action: No action is required at this point. However, to avoid this message the next time the VLM.EXE file is loaded, either make sure an expanded memory manager is loaded with sufficient memory, or do not specify the / ME parameter when loading VLM.EXE.

VLM-1.00-37: The VLM.EXE file is using expanded memory (EMS).

Explanation: This message indicates that the VLM.EXE file is loading the VLM™ programs into expanded memory (EMS).

Action: No action is required; this is simply an information message.

VLM-1.00-38: The VLM.EXE file cannot use extended memory (XMS). VLM.EXE will use an alternate memory scheme.

Explanation: An attempt was made to load the VLM.EXE file in extended memory (XMS) using the /MX parameter. Either no XMS 2.0 extended memory manager is present or insufficient extended memory is available to
