4-44 ROM-DOS Internal Commands
LOADHIGH
CONFIG.SYS, Internal Command
The LOADHIGH command loads an executable or TSR program into the
upper memory area, if available. LOADHIGH can be run as a batch file
command or from the DOS command line.
Syntax
LOADHIGH = [drive:][path]executable [arguments]
LH = [drive:][path]executable [arguments]
Remarks
An executable or TSR program can be loaded into the upper memory
areas when they are available and have enough free upper memory to
accommodate the program’s needs. To make high memory available, the
EMM386.EXE and HIMEM.SYS utilities must be loaded. If these utilities
are not loaded or there is not enough upper memory available, the
program loads into conventional memory.
The full
drive path
and
filename
of the device must be specified. The
arguments are different depending on the device driver.
Example
LOADHIGH=C:\apps\checkit.exe /p
Installs an executable named CHECKIT with its command line arguments
as specified. The program loads into upper memory, if available.
