Hi everybody,
A friend of mine has a problem with a program.  He needs
more than 640k to store pictures he wants to work with.
But he can't get to the extended and/or expanded memory.
Could somebody of you guys help him out ?
He gave me a little demostration file :


#include<alloc.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
    {char huge * charptr=(char huge *)farmalloc(700000L);
     if (!charptr) cout<<"Allocation not succeeded.\n";
     cout<<"Program ended.\n";
     getch();
     return 0;}

/*Under Borland C++ 4.5: (DOS-application)
It is impossible for me to allocate in extended or expanded memory,
even with the Huge memory model.*/
