When I open big LOTUS123 files, and I press F9 to calculate it freezes up the application. However, I am able to successfully press F9 with smaller spreadsheet files in Lotus123 for Dos.

When I press F9 to calculate on the big files, it seems to hang with the WAIT. I left it alone for about 5 minutes and it actually completed but why does it take so long?

When I launch the application through DOSBOX, Cpu Cycles: 3000, Frameskip: 0, and Maximum memory size is 63MB. I am thinking I will need to change the 63MB so that its higher but my settings below have it to 2048MB....???

Cpu Cycles: 3000

These are my settings:

language=
machine=vga
captures=capture
memsize=2048
core=simple
cycles=auto
cycledown=20
xms=true
ems=true
umb=true

DOSBox was intentionally configured to limit to 64MB. That's already a ridiculously high amount for emulating a DOS machine. Return it to the default of 16MB and don't ever touch that setting again. Trying to get 2048MB there is like lugging around a freight train when you go to the supermarket for a loaf of bread just on the off chance that the plastic bag you have won't be large enough. It's just plain ridiculous.
