I am a seasoned (some say Luddite) user of Lotus 123v2.3 for DOS. I have years'
worth of complex applications created with this software. I've been successfully
running it in a DOS window on Windows 95 & 98 systems (printing included). Last
week my primary machine shot craps...and I replaced it with a new machine running
XP. I was unable to even get my Lotus to install from its original floppy disks.
In desperation, I removed my hard drive from the crapped out Win98 machine and installed
it as a 2nd (slave) hard drive in my new XP machine.
Lo & behold...my DOS version of Lotus 123 loads properly, and my spreadsheet applications
load, and macros execute properly, and it does file creation and saving tasks properly.
AND it prints, properly formatted and paginated (Wk1/Fmt files), to my HP printer!
One problem, however...the Lotus 123, when accessed on my new system (which is booted
with XP) does not access any more than about 650kb of memory...no extended or expanded
memory is recognized or apparently available to it...and large spreadsheets bump
up against the available memory limit.
Can anyone suggest a way to make more of my machine's 512mg of RAM available to my
DOS version of Lotus 123? I will appreciate any and all suggestons. THANKS
