Indeed, not as simple as it first seemed, its got me stumped anyhow.

Here's the function:
 __dpmi_get_free_ memory_information(__dpmi_free_mem_info *_info)      

And here's the struct which it should fill :

     typedef struct {
       unsigned long largest_available_free_block_in_bytes;
       unsigned long maximum_unlocked_page_allocation_in_pages;
       unsigned long maximum_locked_page_allocation_in_pages;
       unsigned long linear_address_space_size_in_pages;
       unsigned long total_number_of_unlocked_pages;
       unsigned long total_number_of_free_pages;
       unsigned long total_number_of_physical_pages;
       unsigned long free_linear_address_space_in_pages;
       unsigned long size_of_paging_file_partition_in_pages;
       unsigned long reserved[3];
     } __dpmi_free_mem_info;

Er help!, i can't use intialize this struct with another variable because
it says unkown storage calss which is understandable. I can't make a direct
access to any of the variables in __dpmi_free_mem_info, so basically i'm
stuck and i haven't got a clue, also let me know if i have to do something
else due to the fact that its dpmi :). If someone could show me how to use

__dpmi_get_free_ memory_information(__dpmi_free_mem_info *_info)      

and printf it i would be grateful!


Regards....
