I need to know how to get the following information using Interrupts preferable. I am using Turbo PASCAL, so if REALLY necessary I could use Inline assembly, but I'd reather use interrupts or some other method. Here are the memory things I need: TotalUpper Memory Upper Memory Used (or Free) Adapter ROM/RAM memory total " " " free (or used) Conventional memory used I am also looking for a few beta testers with a fairly sound knowledge in the internals of their PC, well actually more about technical info about their computer such as the different chips, their system configuration, etc. The program I am writing is a system informatin program (yes, another one <grin>) Currently it can only tell a few things about your system, a little DOS environment info, a general system overview, detailed mouse info, general video info, port configurations (w/ UART chip detection), sound card detection, CMOS info, BIOS system detection, and a few other things. Let me know if anyone out there is interested. I'd say for now the only requirement is DOS 5.0 since I haven't implemented version detection. Some of the functions used are not availanle for early versions of DOS. Thanks, Ryan
