Hi there,


Apologies to all if this is slightly offbeat posting...


I'm trying to get at the information provided by the DPMI 'get free memory
info'
call under DOS4GW. I'm unfamiliar with the way that WATCOM uses assembler.
As far as I can figure it out I need to set up an area for the buffer and
then pass
the selector and offset (which I am assuming are the 32bit equivalents for
paging) to the DPMI server, call the int31H interrupt and then read out the
information from the buffer.

I'm stuck on how to pass the address of the buffer into ES:EDI before the
call...



Any help would be much appreciated.


Pete
