Setting Processing Limits

Use a startup file and the Processing-Limits section of pssqr.ini to define the sizes and limitations of some of the internal structures that SQR uses. An -M command-line flag can specify a startup file whose entries override those in pssqr.ini. If you use the -Mb command-line flag, then corresponding sections of the file are not processed. Many of these settings have a direct effect on memory requirements.

Tuning of memory requirements used to be a factor with older, 16-bit operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 3.1. Today, most operating systems use virtual memory, and tuning memory requirements normally do not affect performance in any significant way. The only case in which you might need to be concerned with processing limit settings is with large SQR programs that exceed default processing limit settings. In such cases you must increase the corresponding settings.
