Hello,

Is there any way to access extended memory from FPC?  I'm SURE I've seen
some reference to doing this somewhere.  FPC comes with support for expanded
memory, but nothing for extended memory that I can find.
I thought there was a BIOS or DOS call, but can't find any reference in
either the Peter Norton or Ray Duncan PC programmer's guides.  Has a call of
this type been added to DOS since these books were published?

All I need is a way to copy a block of memory from low to extended memory,
and back again.  Anybody have any ideas?

-Tom
