Press the Esc key to ignore this question. @@CONVMEMQ Use conventional memory for cache. Conventional memory is normal memory up to 640Kb. @@DCHELPQ If you want to restrict caching to certain drives, specify which drives should not be cached. You can also dedicate the cache to a single drive by specifying all other drives should not be cached. Default: All hard disk drives are cached. All other drives are not, including RAM disks and remote network drives. @@DELSNOQ Selecting NO will prevent making any modification to your disk, and you will return to the main menu. @@DELSYESQ Selecting YES will cause your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be modified. The PlusCache command will be changed into a REMark line. This will prevent PlusCache from automatically being loaded each time your computer is started. You will then return to DOS. If you wish to make further changes, you should invoke this program again. @@EMSQ Use expanded memory for PlusCache's cache. Expanded memory is memory which conforms to the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification. Note: Setting up the cache in expanded memory uses the least amount of conventional memory. This is generally more efficient than setting up the cache in extended memory. @@EXTENDEDMQ Use extended memory for PlusCache's cache. Extended memory is memory installed beyond the DOS limit of 640Kb on IBM ATs and other systems with 80286 or 80386 processors. IBM sometimes refers to this memory as expansion memory. @@EXTMEMADDR Specify Lowest Starting Address This value allows you to tell the cache not to use Extended memory below the specified base address. This is only necessary to avoid conflicting with other resident programs which use Extended memory and which the cache cannot automatically recognize. Most of the popular RAM Disk programs and other resident programs which use Extended memory, are automatically recognized by the cache and there is no need to specify a new value here. If you are using any program in extended memory which the cache does not seem to recognize correctly, you should specify a lowest starting address which will be above the memory used by that program. For example, if you have a 512K byte RAM Disk beginning at 1024K (the beginning of Extended memory), the correct lowest starting address for the cache would be 1024K + 512K = 1536K, and the appropriate value to enter here would be 1536. The cache loads itself from the top of Extended memory down and will often not actually reach the specified minimum base address. Remember, this is only necessary if the cache does not automatically recognize the other program. You can detect this by noticing when the cache is installed that its starting address conflicts with the Extended memory used by the other program. @@RESVMEMQ Specify Reserve Size This option allows you to reserve a specific number of K bytes for programs other than PlusCache. Specifying the amount of memory to reserve is often more convenient than specifying the size of the cache, because it allows PlusCache to calculate its size based on your estimate of how much memory your applications will need. Defaults: For a conventional memory cache, reserve 480Kb for other programs. For an expanded or extended memory cache, reserve none for other programs. (Except that any memory over the maximum cache size of 1072Kb will automatically be reserved, since this is the maximum cache size.) @@SAVEYESQ Select Yes if you want the installation information written into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on your disk.

The rest of the memory type chosen is available for other programs. For conventional memory the value should be between 64 and the amount of conventional memory remaining above DOS. For extended memory the value should be between 64 and 1024. For expanded memory the value should be between 64 and 1072. Defaults: For conventional memory the default cache size is 128 K bytes. For extended memory the default cache size is all available up to 1024 K bytes. For expanded memory the default cache size is all available up to 1072 K bytes. @@SONOQ Select No if you want another chance to go back and change some of the values for the cache.
