[comp.windows.ms] Using expanded memory in Windows

Ann_P_Friauf@cup.portal.com (10/24/89)

Has anyone tried to use expanded memory in a Windows/286 application?  I
don't have enough conventional memory for my data when using CodeView, so
I thought I would put some of it in expanded memory, but since Windows uses
expanded memory also, I seem to be conflicting with Windows.  Is there a
way to use expanded memory for my application without conflicting with
Windows?  If anyone has any info on this, please send e-mail to me at:
!apple!answer!ann or answer!ann@apple.com.  If there is interest, I'll
summarize to the net.  Thanks!

Yes you can use EMS memory.

The trick is to use the -l option when you rc your final executable.
As in rc -l myprog.res or something to that effect.

You are restricted to EMS3.2 functions.

This option is documented in the update to the SDK 2.11 (not the
readme file - the booklet that came as part of the docs)

Hope this helps
