Subject: Q. dpmi_free_memory() under allegro.
Precedence: bulk

help, i have a dpmi question.

i can run this program to display free memory and it works fine.

but when i include the same code into a much larger program, 
that also includes allegro, it crashs
is there something else im suppose to do before
calling the _dpmi_get..()

---------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <dpmi.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    __dpmi_free_mem_info *info;         // define pointer

    __dpmi_get_free_memory_information( info );                 // call to
get info
    
    printf("free mem = %d\n", info->largest_available_free_block_in_bytes);
// display

/*  the rest is the other fields of the structure.
 *   printf("maximum_locked_page_allocation_in_pages = %d\n",
info->maximum_locked_page_allocation_in_pages);
 *   printf("maximum_unlocked_page_allocation_in_pages = %d\n",
info->maximum_unlocked_page_allocation_in_pages);
 *   printf("size_of_paging_file_partition_in_pages = %d\n",
info->size_of_paging_file_partition_in_pages);
 *   printf("total_number_of_free_pages = %d\n",
info->total_number_of_free_pages);
 *   printf("total_number_of_physical_pages = %d\n",
info->total_number_of_physical_pages);
 *   printf("total_number_of_unlocked_pages = %d\n",
info->total_number_of_unlocked_pages);
 *   printf("free_linear_address_space_in_pages = %d\n",
info->free_linear_address_space_in_pages);
 *   printf("linear_address_space_size_in_pages = %d\n",
info->linear_address_space_size_in_pages);
 */   
}
