Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
I am writing a shell/OS based on DOS. You may think thats cheap but its for school and i have deadlines . I was woundering if the "new" operation only gets memory from the first 640k, and if so how to allocate XMS memory.
I'm taking a very unqiue (-sp) aproach to multitasking as in the all done from within the kernal (sp once more, i'm to lazy to fix now) and is loaded via scrips, so far is has far proformace and exellent stabilty. But I need XMS!!!
Please Help.
