[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need LIM 4.0 specs & info

jjw@igloo.UUCP (John Welch) (05/06/88)

	At work, we have a huge program that's eaten up all the 640K that
PClones allow. We are trying to decide on a method of increasing the available
memory. We can't easily use overlays, (no DOS) but we are looking into either
extended or expanded memory.
	Anybody had experience writing non-DOS non-UNIX protected mode programs
in Lattice C and assembler? Who makes any tools to help?
	There is also LIM. I think I read that 4.0 allows programs to reside
there. Anybody know where to look for the specs? How much address space does
a LIM board need (we can give it up to 32k)? Who has tools for writing code
that resides in LIM areas?
	Thanks in advance for any help given.

Call Intel; they will send you (free!) a copy of the spec book.  My Rolodex
says that their number is (800) 538-3373.  It's even sized and punched to 
fit in a standard slipcase binder (the spec book, not my Rolodex).
