Hi there:
Does anyone out there know where to find info on having windows applications
access expanded/extended memory? The only piece of info I could find was a
function called LimitEMSPages(), which tells me how to _limit_ access, but not
how to _get_ access in the first place. Are there Windows calls to do this, or
do I have to do this in assembler (INT 67H; blech!), or is EMS access done
transparently by Windows?
If you can answer that, I have another question:
How does one access environment variables from a dynamic link library, given
that getenv() is not allowed? is this possible?
Thanks for all answers.
