HMAREA
Purpose: Sets an initial HMA segment address.
Syntax: HMAREA = <xxxx|STANDARD>
Where, xxxx - segment address
By default: HMAREA = STANDARD
Note:
The STANDARD constant is equivalent to 0FFFFh. By default, the HMA is
located between FFFF:0010 and FFFF:FFFF and an XMS driver is required for
its support. But, if 64K of memory are available between A000 and FFFF ,it
may be used as HMA with no additional driver.
It is not recommended to use this command if the HMA size is different
than 64K, since some programs utilize HMA for their own purposes and may not
correctly work with HMAREA.
