Hi,
does anyone knows how to access the xms-memory?
I just got that problem in pascal and there're two major
disadvantages:
1. The minimum xms-block-size is 1kB.
2. The xms-block is not addressable with a pointer. Instead
of that you must have a memory-block free in the lower
memory (<640kB) and copy the xms-block to that memory
with a special function (emm-access).
Than you can modify it and copy it back.
Does djgpp offers advantagous concepts?
TIA,
Dirk
