Hello,

Building my program with DJGPP 2.02, I can access all the extended
memory on the target machine running ms-dos 6.22. This is fine, except
that some of that memory was already used by a ram disk. I am using
himem.sys and ramdrive.sys, which are part of dos 6.22. So my program is
overwriting the memory used for the ram drive.

Is there any way for my program built with DJGPP to be compatible with
HIMEM.SYS? If not, is there another way to get a RAM disk in extended
memory that is compatible with a program built with DJGPP?

Thank you.
