Organization: Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Lines: 20 This may have been asked before, but .. One of our clients wants to use PC-NFS next to a rather memory demanding application. The two don't fit in memory together even in a barebone stripped system. The book says "PCNFS.SYS is approximately 75 KB (after allocating buffer and cache structures)" We discovered tha PC-NFS allocates buffers for drives D - V, where our client needs only drive D. Can we tell PC-NFS not to claim that many buffers and how much memory can we gain this way -- Guus van der Wal Computing Centre Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands USEnet: rcdswal@dutrun.tudelft.nl BITnet: rcdswal@hdetud1.bitnet
