Can I write a program in DJGPP that will allow me to access all
physical memory in a machine (up to 4GB) w/o having to resort to
loading some sort of DPMI driver?  I'd like to be able to boot from a
DOS disk, and access huge amounts of RAM w/o much more functionality
than the peeking and poking I once did in BASIC programs.

I'm not worried about over-writing DOS at this point.  I will find my
own safe ranges of RAM to work within (I hope).  :-)

Thanks,
Phil
