- XMEM
-
- Extended Memory Usage Utility
- Copyright (c) 1990 Howard M. Edin
-
- PURPOSE
-
- XMEM is a simple utility designed to provide information about
- extended memory use. XMEM is currently designed for Microsoft's
- HIMEM.SYS driver or extended memory available under BIOS control
- (ie. no memory manager present).
-
-
- USAGE
-
- Type XMEM at the command line to display a brief report. A
- command line switch [-v] toggles XMEM into detailed reporting of
- extended memory use. If no extended memory manager (XMM) driver
- is found XMEM will only show total extended memory reported by
- the BIOS.
-
- In detailed reporting mode, XMEM will show memory use by each
- Extended Memory Block (EMB) handle. The total memory used is the
- sum of the EMB handles plus the 64k used in the High Memory Area
- (HMA). The XMM driver always reserves 64k for the HMA regardless
- of whether it is actually used.
-
-
- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
-
- XMEM was written with Turbo C version 2.0, and the XMM library
- files from Microsoft's Extended Memory Specification 2.06 (found
- on most BBS's). The file contains a wealth of information, as
- well as C and ASM support files.
-
- The current version of XMEM uses the CPU detection routine
- published in the Tutor column by Jeff Prosise, PC Magazine Volume
- 9 number 13, page 425-426. I plan on changing this in the future
- since this routine does not get along with 386/486 chips in
- virtual 8086 mode.
-
- If you find any problems with the program, or have suggestions or
- criticism, please send me a comment if possible. I can be reached
