Whether the new DMAchips can cross boundary limits or not, it's
a simply stupid to presume that everyone has a new chip when you
create a program. So don't presume, check. And still make your
routines to support old DMA's, unless you really wish your program
to have some 90% less users...

As I am writing this at the unversity, I can't access my own
notes, but if I happen to remember corrent, you ought to use
__dpmi_allocate_dos_memory -function (or something like that).
Check the help files for more detail (rhide preferably :), it's
really rather simple.
