Hello,
I currently working on a program in that I would like to use extended memory
if it is available. In order to use the memory though, I need to be able to
directly address it. I am using the XMS spec published by Microsoft and
understand that I need to lock the extended memory block and enable the A20
address line. After that I am clueless as to how to actually address the
memory. Any pointers will be appreciated as well as any source code.
Please E-mail responses to 73237.411@compuserve.com as I am losing this
account in a couple of days.
Thanks
