I'd like a library for accessing expanded and/or extended memory in
Borland C++.  If the source is included, even better.

Also, I would like to know what's best/fastest to use when programming
real/V8086 mode as I am doing.  I figure that with XMS, you will have to
copy the data to conventional memory before doing any processing
on it, and with EMS, all you do is map the correct pages into the 
page frame at 0xe000 (or whatever).  As I see it, EMS is faster.  

Am I right?

Please don't mention DOS extenders, as I am well aware of those.  That
goes for Phar Lap, DJGPP, Watcom whatever.

BTW, is the DOS extender in BP 7.0 usable with BC++ 3.1?
