Hello All, Two Little problems 1) Himem.sys and block copying I have written a progam in Turbo Pascal 5.0 which makes use of extended memory by copying the bits I need into the HMA as they are needed and copying them out as they are not needed. I use a most frequently used algorythm so excessive transfer is not done. And it works a treat- The problems is that it still has to do a lot of swapping and I use the XMS move block command Is there a better way- I dont mind writting a different piece of code for 286s and 386s. I can program in TP,C and ASM so I can understand any bits of code thrown at me. I know nothing about protected mode though and this may be the key 2) There seems to be a good book about full of programming techniques called the Hyperspace Navigators Guide which talks about clever ways of using Extended memory. It is published by Semi Intelligent Systems in the US. Has anyone seen it ? Is it any good ? Can somone tell me where I can mail order it from ? Please Email replys- To avoid jamming the network I'll post the method that works the best Thanks in advance!
