Date: Tue, 21 May 1996 16:15:07 +0200 Organization: Division of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, Warsaw University Lines: 15 Message-ID: <31A1CFEB.2781@geralt.mimuw.edu.pl> NNTP-Posting-Host: geralt.mimuw.edu.pl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp I tried to call the function __dpmi_memory_info and it returns an error. I executed my program under different configuration ( with xms , without xms, under windows ) and the result is alwas the same ( __DPMI_GET_MEMORY_INFO returns an error ) More! I tried to lock 1 MB of memory under a specific phisical address ( above 1MB, tried different adresses ) and this function also returns an error? Maybe this is because the csdpmi returns version numer:0.9 (is dpmi 1.0 required and where do i get a cwsdpmi with dpmi interface version 1.0. And it's not the fault of djgpp version, I'v got all the files from djgpp v2. Or maybe there is a different way of accessing memory above 1MB As I said the steps given in djgppv2 faq fail step: lock linear memory addr. HELP!!
