If you compile your programs with DJGPP, you shouldn't normally need to
access XMS memory as such.

Yes. Just call malloc with the size that you need (could be many

server will do the rest (access XMS, allocate a block, do the necessary
bookkeeping etc.).
Isn't that what you want? If not, please describe the details.
