Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────BSCMAKE────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     BSCMAKE exists as two executable files. The form of BSCMAKE that
     you run is determined by your computer's memory.
 
        ■ BSCMAKE.EXE uses extended memory if available. If extended
          memory is unavailable, BSCMAKE runs under DOS in real mode.
 
        ■ BSCMAKEV.EXE uses extended memory if it is available. If
          extended memory is unavailable or insufficient, BSCMAKEV uses
          virtual memory, copying information to your disk as needed
          during the database build. Swapping to disk is slower but can
          overcome a shortage of memory. To invoke this form of BSCMAKE,
          specify BSCMAKEV instead of BSCMAKE on the command line.
 
     To prevent BSCMAKE or BSCMAKEV from using extended memory, specify
     the /r option as the first option on the command line.
