[misc.wanted] Wanted: Memory block display for PC/MS-DOS

rde@ukc.ac.uk (R.D.Eager) (11/12/86)

Does  anyone  know  of  a (preferably PD) program for an IBM PC (or just
MS/PC-DOS) that displays all allocated memory blocks? I want to debug  a
program that grabs memory via the appropriate INT 21H function, and such
a program would make life a lot easier!

I have a PD program which displays the owner of the memory blocks, any
interrupts it may have redifined (allocated), the command line parameters
(if applicable) and the actual loading address of the program. It fails
to properly trace memory allocated by loadable device drivers (from
config.sys) but merely reports one large block for the whole lot of 'em.

There is also source, and programs which demonstrate how to follow the
DOS memory allocation chain to do other "illegal" things to DOS. If there
is a lot of demonstrated interest, I could post a shar file. Otherwise, I'll
just try to mail it to the UK.
