A20GATE.ASM Very Happy 2 passes, 96 bytes
Attempts to enable the #A20 line for access to the HMA from realmode code

Created by : Hayden McKay - build (j)54177

Note: * [BX] [CX] will be destroyed * [AL] is non-zero on success

Thanks to Ralf Brown's port list reference ports.a and other various recorces on the internet!

note: not many PC's support HMA acces for hardware. ie: hardware will probably fail if you use ffffh:10h - ffffh:ffffh for device buffers.

I've read someware that you can test for hardware HMA suppot though.

I've used zip exclusively for many, many years, but have to say that 7zip is absoultely outstanding. Greetz to Madis731 for turning me on to 7zip during the fasm meeting in Krakow. I strongly recommend giving it a try. It supports zip, rar, tar, cab, arj, lzh. chm, gzip, ... etc.

7ZA.EXE (cmdline version) works in Win32 or DOS + HXRT.

Or just use the DJGPP port of p7zip (but type CWSDPMI -x first if under pure DOS and use forward slashes in path names).
