Hi,
	does anybody know where MSDOS keeps info about extended memory
if any.  Example on my PS/2 I have 1Mb i.e. 640k for DOS and 384k for
other things.  I use both a Disk cache and a Ram drive (set up in the
config.sys).  I have to specify the amount of memory to use and what
kind,  but not where it starts.  So how do these kinds of
program/drivers know how much extended memory is available and what
parts are free.
	Robin
