VMEM IS A VIRTUAL MEMORY TOOL FOR ALL AMIGAS WITH WORKBENCH 2.0 OR
HIGHER. IT PROVIDES A WAY FOR PROGRAMS TO USE MORE MEMORY THAN IS ACTUALLY
AVAILABLE ON YOUR SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR VMEM TO FORCE
PROGRAMS TO USE VIRTUAL MEMORY ON NORMAL AMIGAS (THAT REQUIRES A SPECIAL CHIP
WHICH IS ONLY PRESENT ON AMIGA 3000s AND 4000/040s, SO THEY HAVE TO BE
SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN TO USE IT. HOWEVER, BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS, THERE
COULD BE LOTS OF PROGRAMS THAT USE IT. (YOU MIGHT EVEN HAVE GOT VMEM WITH
SOME PROGRAM THAT USES IT.)
This is the manual for the VMEM INSTALL PROGRAM. To run VMEM INSTALL,
just double-click on it's icon,and you will be presented with a "welcome"
message. Read this, and hit the "OK" gadget,and a requester will appear with
the following options at the bottom:
NOVICE: Click this gadget if you don't know much about the AMIGA
or you just want to get VMem going and aren't interested
in special options. (Everything will be done
automatically).
INTERMEDIATE: Click this gadget if you know a bit about the AMIGA,and
want a bit more control over which files will be installed,
and where.
ADVANCED: Click this gadget if you know the amiga 'inside-out' and
want total control over the installation proceedure.
(What files you want installed, and where each one will
go).
NOTE TO PROGRAMMERS:
You must select INTERMEDIATE or ADVANCED if you want the option
of installing the programming files.
(AUTODOCS:,INCLUDE:,and FD: should be assigned properly,although you
can choose to select a different directory from within VMEM INSTALL.)
