Problem Title:
XCHECKER SOFTWARE 5.2.1: What are the system memory requirement in
orderto run?



Problem Description:
What is the required minimum of free base RAM in order to run the
xchecker software?


Solution 1:

Xchecker reqires a minimum of 512kB of free base memory.

To check the amount of availible base memory type at a
DOS prompt:

mem


The output should similar to:

 Memory Type	    Total	Used	   Free
 ----------------  --------   --------	 --------
 Conventional	       640K	   29K	     611K
 Upper		       107K	   54K	      52K
 Reserved	       384K	  384K	       0K
 Extended (XMS)     31,637K    30,613K	   1,024K
 ----------------  --------   --------	 --------
 Total memory	    32,768K    31,080K	   1,688K

 Total under 1 MB      747K	   83K	     664K

 Largest executable program size       611K (625,680 bytes)
 Largest free upper memory block	52K  (53,744 bytes)
 MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.


The amount of memory listed in the Conventional row, Free
colomn, should be greater than 512K. If this is not the case,
remove any unnecessary drivers, TSRs, and Envrionment variables
from your autoexec and/or config.sys.
