PC*MILER slows down significantly for no apparent reason.

If you share data files with other users, the cause and cure of the problem may be the following:

In an environment where PC*MILER users share data files, there is a potential conflict with the simultaneous reading and writing of the custom place files. To avoid this, the custom place files are configured to be memory-resident during normal read-only operation.

If you experience abnormal program shutdown accompanied by memory allocation failure error messages or if PC*MILER slows down significantly, this may be caused by either a custom place database that is too large for the available memory or custom place editing by more than one user at a time. If either of these problems occur, try removing the following lines from the data.cfg file in the App folder of your PC*MILER installation (use Notepad or another text editor to open the file):

[File Policies]
“aopoi.dat”=”memory”
“aopoi.fts”=”memory”
“aopoi.gdx”=”memory”
“aopoi.nms”=”memory”
“aopoi.tdx”=”memory”
“aopoi.tst”=”memory”

NOTE: Removing the above lines forces users who are adding, deleting, or editing custom places to wait until all others exit before saving changes to the database.
