Hello,
	I have a simular question, Are there any UNITS or Functions out there
that will allow me to almost transparently use eXtended Memory for data storage.
I have a program that will be using TurboPascal's TVision and a linked list.
The linked-list could become quite big and I almost *KNOw* that I'm gona need
much more than 640K of free ram to complete this project. Does ANYONE know of
a PD or simular unit for TP6.0 that will append my Himem.SYS XMS memory to the
heap? Has the Ever been done? BTW: I'm using the NEW() function in TP6.0, that
is why I need it added to the heap, Correct? If no unit, does someone
know of a list of the XMS function INTterrupts so that I can "make" one?


Many, Many, thanks!
John
