UniqueDOSPSP=<Boolean>

Default:        True (If you are running a network based on Microsoft
                Network or LAN Manager. See the NETWORKS.WRI online
                document to find out whether the network you are running
                is one of these); False for all other networks.

Purpose:        If enabled, Windows starts every application at a unique
                address (PSP). Each time Windows creates a new virtual
                machine to start a new application, Windows reserves a
                unique amount of memory (i bytes) below the application.
                For example, if the first application is loaded at
                address M, the second application is loaded at address
                M+i, the third at M+2i, and so on. The amount of memory
                (i) is determined by the PSPIncrement setting. These
                settings ensure that applications in different virtual
                machines all start at different addresses. Some networks
                use applications' load addresses to identify the different
                processes using the network.

                Disabling this setting on such networks, might cause one
                application to fail when you exit another because the
                network interprets them as the same application. If you
                enable this setting, slightly less memory is available
                for non-Windows applications.

To Change:      Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
