Does anybody have an XMS memory driver for MSC 6.0 that works?

I have the Microsoft version which they published in their Systems
Journal.  I downloaded the code from Compuserve and converted it to
inline assembly code.

The initialization routine is a real bugger.  Just how do you detect
the XMS driver?  The code causes the DOS window on my Sun386i to abort
and disappear.  On a normal PC I get a run time error message about a
null pointer which tells me low memory got clobbered.

Does anybody have any info on DPMI?

Thanks.
