Hello,
  I currently working on a program in that I would like to use extended memory
if it is available.  In order to use the memory though, I need to be able to
directly address it.  I am using the XMS spec published by Microsoft and 
understand that I need to lock the extended memory block and enable the A20
address line.  After that I am clueless as to how to actually address the 
memory.  Any pointers will be appreciated as well as any source code. 
Please E-mail responses to 73237.411@compuserve.com as I am losing this 
account in a couple of days.

					Thanks
                                        Paul Varner
