Folks
         According to LIM EMS3.2, the page frame in the conventional memory
maps only 4 16K pages. I have read some material that EMS4.0 allows non
contiguous page frames and allows access to more than 4 physical pages.
In 3.2 I can find the address of each physical page by offseting n * 16K 
from the page frame to get at address of the physical pages. How can I do
this with 4.0 (find page addresses) with non contiguous page frames and
more than 4 physical pages.

         Second what do the functions 25 subfunctions 0 and 1 provide me ?. 
According to the materials I have, function 25 subfunc 0 gives me the number
of entries in the mappable physical addresses array and function 25 subfunction
0 gives me an array of segment addresses and physical page nos. I am not
sure how to use the information contained in this array ?

I would appreciate if somebody can help me.

Thanks
