- We are developing some code in (Meridian) Ada that has to run in
- extended mode on MS-DOS. It also has to pass 50K chunks of data to some
- COTS software written in C which runs in real mode. Just how exactly
- do we do this? Specifically, how do we allocate and pass the address of
- a data buffer from the extended mode program which is then accessible by
- the real mode program?

- If you know anything that can help, pleae forward to
