Thanks! + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We will soon be developing some very large applications to run under MS-DOS. We will be using LIM EMS (4.0), so at least we will have some memory to work with. I have two requests: For the comp.sys.ibm.pc'ers, I've collected quite a bit of "official" documentation and code samples, but I would like to of read some real-world experience in developing for EMS. For the U**X people, I hope to convince my superiors that we should cross-develop on a Unix system; probably SCO Xenix. This task would be much simpler if I could assure them we can emulate DOS memory limitations (i.e., 640K) and an expanded memory manager. Surely somebody out there has written emulators of some sort (Are you reading this, LIM?) I would appreciate any advice, help, pointers, or source for implementing this emulation. If the request is pointless, let me know that, too.
