[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Looking for SMARTDRV-interface

roeve@cip-s01.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Michael Roevenich) (01/23/91)

Windows can reduce the allocated memory currently in use by Smartdrv. Some
other Programs, as Hyper-Cache, also implement this feature.

Is there a program out there (or source or documentation) which allows
to do the same thing out of own programs or from the command line of DOS?
The background of this request is that I would like to free temporarily some
Extended Memory for use by other programs and reassign it later to smartdrv
again without rebooting. It would be sufficient if Smartdrv can be persuaded
to return part or all of its allocated memory to the XMS-handler.

Greetings
Michael
