  6. ;      DESCRIPTION:   This function returns the number of unallocated         ;
  7. ;                     non-standard length pages within expanded memory to the ;
  8. ;                     operating system.                                       ;
  9. ;                                                                             ;
  10. ;                     One variety of expanded memory board has a page size    ;
  11. ;                     which is a sub-multiple of 16K bytes.  An expanded      ;
  12. ;                     memory page which is a sub-multiple of 16K is termed a  ;
  13. ;                     raw page.  An operating system may deal with mappable   ;
  14. ;                     physical page sizes which are sub-multiples of 16K      ;
  15. ;                     bytes.                                                  ;
  16. ;                                                                             ;
  17. ;                     If the expanded memory board supplies pages in exact    ;
  18. ;                     multiples of 16K bytes, the number of pages this        ;
  19. ;                     function returns is identical to the number the         ;
  20. ;                     get_unalloc_page_count function returns.  In this case, ;
  21. ;                     there is no difference between a page and a raw page.   ;

  25. ;                        pages that are currently available for use.          ;
