111205 - Brandon called responding to ref DIP 1 008N, submitted yesterday on
111206 - 020521, ref SDS 9 VU4J, following up on his idea to investigate the
111207 - SDS program (e.exe) for ways to increase RAM allocated by the mem

111210 -                   largest executable program size

111212 - ...above 700K, as we discussed on 020519, ref SDS 8 LQ4M, since it
111213 - appears that the virtual machine idea is not a solution, per below.
111214 - ref SDS 9 JG9L
111215 - ..
111216 - Brandon said to zip e.exe and send to him for evaluation.  We
111217 - did not have time for extended discussion because I have a meeting
111218 - this morning at 1000.
111219 - ..
111220 - Brandon may be able to provide support needed to implement
111221 - Morris' ideas on the record on 930814 for enabling SDS to use the full
111222 - 1 MB that Medit is designed to address. ref SDS 1 OX3L
111223 -
111224 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Brandon, linked to this record for
111225 - context and attached zipped e.exe for review.
111226 -
111227 - Brandon will examine e.exe and advise of findings in a few days.

111235 -   [On 020611 Brandon reports investigation shows SDS (e.exe) is
111236 -   written in 8088 assembly language and is limited to 640K in DOS;
111237 -   recommends re-writing the program to improve memory. ref SDS 12 OL5I

150704 - Follow up ref SDS 9 JG9L, ref SDS 8 JG9L.

150706 - Brandon advised that he received ref DIP 1 0001 responding to his
150707 - letter and requesting comments on the record for 020519 showing that
150708 - evaluation of Vmware and Virtual PC do not appear to solve the
150709 - problem. ref SDS 8 I67M
150710 - ..
150711 - Brandon indicated that he reviewed the record and did not see
150712 - anything that can be done differently using Vmware to increase RAM for
150713 - largest executable program size.
150714 -
150715 - Brandon reported that he has configured DOS using Vmware in the manner
150716 - he proposed on 020519, ref SDS 8 JG9L, and this resulted in showing
150717 - the largest executable program size 617K.  Since this is 20K less than
150718 - 634K we are getting using NTVD (DOS) under W2K, there is no evident
150719 - benefit for using Vmware to run SDS.

150721 - Provided link to POIMS for reference, since Brandon is an expert
150722 - for enterprise management solutions. ref DRP 1 KD9G
