The following question pertains to IBM PC's.  (I am using a PC/AT.)

I know it's possible to determine how much memory is installed on an
EGA board so that an application does not die from a false assumption
of the amount of EGA memory present.  I know this because some
applications print a message like "You need 256K to run this program."
Does someone have a program written in C or Assembler that does this
test?  I would like to see an example.

Thank you.
