I am having a difficult time determining the total conventional memory value as reported by CHKDSK and MEM. MEM reports both total conventional memory and bytes available to DOS. I know that the memory available to DOS can be determined with BIOS interrupt 12h. But I'm not sure about total conventional memory. Is this value calculated, or is there a service available which will report this value? Perhaps in the mysterious list of lists? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Hemsley | Information & Technical Security | If you think that you have someone Idaho National Engineering Laboratory | eating out of your hand, it's a (208) 526-9322 | good idea to count your fingers! kev@inel.gov | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========== long legal disclaimer follows, press n to skip =========== Neither the United States Government or the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory or any of their employees, makes any warranty, whatsoever, implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility regarding any information, disclosed, or represents that its use would not infringe privately owned rights.
