I've successfully used the __handle pointer in Zortech C/C++ to access
expanded memory (although only with certain expanded memory managers)
to get (much) more than 640K of data.   I've only read the glossy
descriptions of Turbo C++, but it sounds like its VROOM (is that right?)
stuff only applies to the *text* of a program, not the *data*.
Can you get access to more than 640K of *data* with Turbo C++ ?
