Hi! I am looking for C libraries for EMS and XMS memory for 16-bit DOS. I use Open Watcom v. 1.9 and have access to Turbo C and C++ 1.1 and 3.0 and NASM, latest version.

IDK about EMS/XMS but here's a big collection of DOS source code:

H:\MSDOS>dir /b/s *ems*.*
H:\MSDOS\ASMUTL\LOADEMS.ARC
H:\MSDOS\SYSUTL\MEMSIZ.ASM
H:\MSDOS>dir /b/s *xms*.*
H:\MSDOS\C\XMSLB17.ZIP
H:\MSDOS\MICROSFT\XMS20.ARC
Its not much, but at least something.
There may be more, but hidden in zip and arc files.
72 megabyte for msdos.

Hi,
Ask on the freedos-user mailing list. I'm sure they can help further.

One "lib" I remember is this ... although I haven't tried it:
* https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/libs/ems/
It's Louis Santillan's "EMS-lib that someone wrote for Micro-C ported to
TC 2.01".
You can also just check the "specs" (EMS, XMS, DPMI):

Here's an EMS/XMS ram disk with source and makefile for Borland C++ 3.x.

It's a lot of code, maybe more than you want.

Click on the "master" tab to find a "Download Snapshot" link.
