   When you allocate memory with __dpmi_allocate_memory( ...) How do you
   use the memory???

   If I used malloc() would it allocate XMS memory??

Yes.  Malloc() will allocate from all available virtual memory, only assuming 
that the DPMI provider has virtual memory capability and limited by its VM 
limitations.
