DOCUMENT:Q121225 25-NOV-1999 [msdos] TITLE :Different Driver Names Reported with MEM/C and MEM/D PRODUCT :Microsoft Disk Operating System PROD/VER:MS-DOS:6.22 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you run the MEM /C and MEM /D commands with MS-DOS 6.22, they report different names for the same driver found in memory (DRVSPACE.BIN) even though both commands reference DRVSPACE. This can be confusing when you are attempting to determine if either DBLSPACE.BIN or DRVSPACE.BIN is being loaded into memory. The following example shows the information reported by MEM /C and MEM /D: MEM /C ------ Modules using memory below 1 MB: Name Total = Conventional + Upper Memory HIMEM 1,104 (1K) 1,104 (1K) 0 (0K) EMM386 4,144 (4K) 4,144 (4K) 0 (0K) DRVSPACE 39,680 (39K) 0 (0K) 39,680 (39K) MEM /D ------ Conventional Memory Detail: Segment Total Name Type 1,088 (1K) XMSXXXX0 Installed Device=HIMEM 4,128 (4K) EMMQXXX0 Installed Device=EMM386 Upper Memory Detail: Segment Region Total Name Type 39,632 (39K) DBLSYSH$ Installed Device=DRVSPACE or DBLSBIN$ Although the Name reference in the different commands is different, both commands reference DRVSPACE. MEM /C references it in the Name field; MEM /D references it in the Type field. MORE INFORMATION ================ The MEM /C command classifies programs by memory usage, lists the size of programs, provides a summary of memory in use, and lists largest memory block available. The MEM/D command displays status of all modules in memory, internal drivers, and other information.
