Condition

Explanation

 

 

Specifying a NET.CFG file outside

At the command line, enter a command similar to the

the current directory

following (or add the command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT

 

file):

 

VLM /C=C:\NWCLIENT\NET.CFG

 

 

Loading the NetWare DOS

If you are running MS Windows 3.0, ensure that the

Requester memory managers under

VLM.EXE file is loaded after any upper- or high-memory

MS Windows 3.0

managers are loaded.

 

 

Avoid Loading VLM software in

Don’t use the expanded memory option (/ME). Run MS

expanded memory with MS

Windows with the NetWare DOS Requester only if you use

Windows

the extended memory option (/MX, preferred) or the

 

conventional memory option (/MC).

software:

 

• Rename the module with an extension other than .VLM

 

• Use the parameter and value. See “USE DEFAULTS=[on

 

off]” on page 165

 

• Use the parameter and value. See “EXCLUDE

 

VLM=path_vlm”
