Is there a standard for using extended memory?  A memory block usage
table, or, some kind of free space pool, or, something?  I am
trying to move data into extended memory for easy access but I do not
know how to tell whats being used already (VDISK, TDH386.SYS, etc.)
I have a 386, Phoenix BIOS, and C&T chipset.  I am using DOS 3.3.
Does DOS 4.x address this issue at all?  Will DOS 5?

Thanks for your time
