--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XMSLIB - access extended memory using the XMS driver on a 286 or better machine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0:
Never released.
Version 1.1:
Never released.
Version 1.2:
First ``public'' release to the Usenet community.
Version 1.3:
Fixed one major (and stupid) bug: I had a JMP instruction in the
XMS_Setup routine that caused the function to always think there was an
XMS driver loaded. Thanks to all those who pointed that one out...
Also, thanks to DTF, one FAR directive was missing from the xlslib.h
header file.
Version 1.4:
Fixed a few more typos and a bug or two. All memory models are now
supported, even tiny and huge. An object file, produced by Turbo
Assembler 2.5 using the large model, is included in this release
as well for those who may not have tasm.
Version 1.5:
Fixed a few more minor errors, and moved the pointer to the HMA into
the users code rather than the xmslib code. Some internal veriable
names changed as well; this should not affect user code.
Version 1.6:
A few more typos, and one documentation error only. Hopefully this
will get rid of the errors; I plan on adding better documentation and
more functionality. Never released.
Version 1.7:
Noticed one last (!) typo after checking in the code, so this version
will be the one released to the rest of the world.
Uploaded to Simtel20 as xmslb17i, Usenet at xmslb17u, and a few BBS
systems as xmslb17b. All are the same, only the last letter has changed
to indicate how the code was received.
