Hi everyone,

  Is there any means by which I can find out my total
physical memory size other than through DPMI ? I find
that some DPMI hosts like WINDPMI lie when I ask for
this information ? Ok. At least, how do I know that
I'm running CWSDPMI (from my program) ?

 I mapped the entire extended memory (my RAM size -
1M) to some variable "x". I'm using nearptr. But I get
a SIGSEGV when I try to access the address
x[__djgpp_base_address]. I know it's in use by the
program code, but is there a work around to this ?

Please help.
