Hiya.  I've just acquired Phar Lap's 286 DOS-Extender.  It seems to work
great with Borland C++ 3.1, with one exception.

Using farmalloc(), I can only seem to allocate 1MB contiguous pieces of
memory - no larger.

What I want is just a few (I assume) lines of code that will return
a char huge * to the largest contiguous piece of memory in my machine
(which I can then reference into like an array).

ie,  unsigned char huge *p = (unsigned char huge *)farmalloc(16*OneMeg);

Phar Lap tech support has not helped that much.  They haven't shown me
a code snippet that works; they've just claimed something about an arbitrary
1MB limit and speculated on workarounds.  At the same time, their manual
claims that farmalloc() has no arbitrary limits, and that you should be able
to grab as much physical memory as you can in one fell swoop.

Has anybody experienced or solved this problem?

Thanx...
