- OK, just when I thought I had it figured out... Assuming HIMEM.SYS is
- loaded and I can access the driver functions, how do I get data into and
- out of extended memory ?
-
- The only driver function for moving memory takes as arguments source and
- destination Extended Memory Block handles that (as far as I can tell) can
- only point to extended memory blocks.
-
- If the only way to move data to/from extended memory is to switch to
- protected mode (something I want to avoid) how does one get the address
- of the EMB from the EMB's handle ?
-
- Can anyone suggest a book/article that deals with this subject in depth,
- preferably with examples ?
-
- Thanx,
-
