Is it possible to tell programmatically whether expanded memory has been enabled?

I know the WHO command will show this info, but I want to put something into my application so that at logon the user can be warned if the expanded memory is not available and then they can get their IT people to come and set it up.

Does anyone know how to access this information?

Thanks

You could pipe the output of the DOS mem command to a file and then parse through it. I don't recall whether the /c option is needed to get expanded memory details.

Never mind. My trick only checks if expanded memory is available, not if it's being used. Use getconfigure().

Getconfigure information is here.

Or do a search for getconfigure.
