I know that it has something to do with managing extended memory, but I do not know exactly what. Does it give more than 640K of DOS memory available to applications? Or does it allow access to extended memory for programs written to the XNS specs? Any information woudl be appreciated, Dan benderly@cs.columbia.edu
