 PL> Sure: use the eXtended Memory Specification (XMS). Here's what you

 PL> XMS (Int 2F/43; Multiplex)
 PL> INT 2F - INSTALLATION CHECK AX = 4300h
 PL> Return: AL = 80h XMS driver installed
 PL>     AL  80h no driver
and so on... for which i am very thankful;)
Does this driver access extended memory by temporarily switching to protected 
mode? and if it doesnt then how can it access extended memory?
also the exe file header seems to be 512 bytes long but documentation only 
covers the first 30 or so bytes, what does the rest of the exe header 
ntain?
Life is a bitch ( i know i know very original)
