Subject: Something for the Delphi tips section?
Hi,
I just discovered your Delphi page and read the tips section with
interest: a lot of usefull stuff.
Some time ago I posted a question on comp.lang.pascal (and got an
answer) that I think may fit in: how to access the memory between A000-
FFFF.
The answer below was posted by Jeremiah Gilbert, I added the B800 and
the D000 descriptors, which he forgot.
Sorry to dump more stuff on you,

When addressing these functions create a pointer this way:
ptr(ofs(SegXXXX), Offset);
unlike DOS's:
ptr(SegXXXX, Offset);
}
{$I-,D-,S-,R-,Q-,G-,N-,E-,X+}
