Hi,
     I am trying to read the system memory map using Interrupt 15h and
function E820h as follows. The problem is that __tb on returning gives
me garbage. I was initially using struct but switched to cars after
reading about packing issues.
Return value from the call indicates success. is this somthing I am
missing out herehat am I missing ?

    __dpmi_regs regs;
    char sMapEntry[20];

    regs.d.ebx = dwHandle;      //Previous handle returned by
interrupt
    regs.d.eax = 0xE820;
    regs.x.es = __tb >> 4;	// just need 20 bytes so using transfer
buffer
    regs.x.di = __tb >> 0x0f;
    regs.d.ecx = 0x14;		//20 bytes;
    regs.d.edx = 0x534D4150; 	// Parameter of interrupt call - SMAP
signature

    __dpmi_int(0x15, &regs);	// Interrupt call

    dosmemget (__tb, 20 , sMapEntry);

    if (regs.d.eax != 0x534D4150) { // Check signature in EAX.
	printf ("Memory Map not found !\n");
	return;
    }
    dwHandle = regs.d.ebx;


    
Thanks,
Hemant
