But why would people want to allocate more than 64K. As CS says DOS
can't transfer more than 64Kb at a time. And I don't know of any BIOS
calls either that use this amount of sparse memory. If they want to have
memory, give it them. Give them flat memory (what an abstraction),
there's plenty of that. It's virtually [un]limited.
