 LOTUS 123 VER 3.0

     This document explains how to structure files for minimum memory use
     and how to regain memory.  This information comes from the Memory
     Management appendix in Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.0 documentation.

     The minimum memory requirement for Release 3.0 is 640K bytes of
     conventional memory and 384K bytes of extended memory.  The suggested
     memory amounts are 640K bytes conventional, and at 1M byte of extended
     (the more the better).  If you have programs which use expanded memory,
     set aside enough for those applications (1MB is usually sufficient).

     Make sure the extended memory isn't allocated to other programs like
     disk caches.  If you're unsure, check the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
     files.  Because most DOS applications use extended, not expanded,
     memory, configure as much expanded as needed for these applications.

     When configured for both kinds of memory, the 1-2-3 program is stored
     in extended and data is stored in expanded.  When expanded is full, 1-
     2-3 places any additional data in extended.  If you have an 80386-based
     computer with an Expanded Memory Emulation Program, such as ILIM386 or
     QEMM386, you should convert as much extended memory as possible to
     expanded.  1-2-3 can access only the memory that the emulation program
     converts to expanded.  1-2-3 won't be able to use any extended memory
     after the emulation program has loaded.  You usually set the amount of
     memory to be converted with a statement in your CONFIG.SYS file.  Check
     your documentation for your driver to change it.

     NOTE:   1-2-3 works with only EMS Emulators that support the Virtual
             Control Program Interface (VCPI).  Among those that support
             VCPI are 386 MAX version 4.07 or later, Quarterdeck Expanded
             Memory Manager (QEMM) version 4.2 or later, and COMPAQ Expanded
             Memory Manager (CEMM).

 LOTUS 123 3.0 ONLY SEES 15 MEG OF MEMORY

     Some applications will only see 15 Meg of memory no matter how much is
     installed.  Lotus 1-2-3 3.0 is one of them.
