EMS and XMS memory for Symbol & Comment data
FAPT LADDER uses EMS and/or XMS memory lor Symbol & Comment data if available.
When neither of them are available, FAPT LADDER will make temporary file on the hard
diskdrive, and processing large number of Symbol & Comment data may be slower.
About 200 Kbytes of EMS & XMS memory are used for every 1,000 Symbol data.
EMS and XMS memory for Net comment
FAPT LADDER also uses EMS and/or XMS memory, or temporary file as same as Symbol &
Comment data.
About 200 to 300 Kbytes of EMS or XMS memory are used for every 1,000 Net cement.
CONFIG. SYS
Before FAPT LADDER-II can be started, the following lines must be added to the CONFlG.SYS
file:
DEVICE = C:UDOSVANSI.SYS
DEVICE = C:VDOSVEMM~~~.EXE
DEVICE = C:UDOSVMSIME.SYS
DEVICE = C:VDOSVMSIMEK.SYS

ANSI.SYS (required)
The display mode and attributes of the display unit are set. This setting cannot be omitted.
EMM386.EXE
This device driver enables the use of expansion memory as EMS memory. When using
another EMS driver, refer to the relevant manual for details of the setting required in
CONFIG.SYS.
MSIME.SYS/MSIMEK.SYS
This device driver enables the use of MS-KANJI API for Japanese-language input. When
using another Japanese language input system, refer to the relevant manual for details of the
setting required in CONFIG.SYS.
(Note 1)
(Note 2)
(Note 3)
All of the above device drivers are provided as standard with MS-DOS. This manual
assumes that these device drivers are placed under the vDOS directory on drive C.
The specification of switches and parameters may be required for the above settings.
For details, refer to the MS-DOS on-line help or the relevant manual.
When using a memory card, refer to the manual provided with the memory card for
details of the setting required in CONFIGSYS.
Some device drivers may adversely affect the operation of FAPT LADDER-II. If a
problem is anticipated, specify only ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS. Omit the specification
of the other device drivers. When only ANSI.SYS is specified, FAPT LADDER-II will
support only English, but allows any contention with other device drivers to be identified
quickly. Recognized conflicts are listed in Appendix 7.
