How to access SMBios in NLM

Hi,

I need to access SMBios in NLM(CONFIG.NLM is not enough for me). I googled a 
page saying physical memory could be accessed through ReadPhysicalMemory 
function. However, I counldn't find any API documentation of function 
ReadPhysicalMemory inside Novell website. Does anybody have any idea on it 
or show me how to access physical memory though some other way on Netware?

Thanks in advance,

-Mike

you mean total available memory?
I was just on that too; see attached sample I just wrote to demonstrate a bug 
with one of the functions - but what you need works....

Hi Guenter,

Thanks for your response. Maybe my words were not clear. What I am going to 
do is to grub information from SMBIOS which is located between 0x000F0000 
and 0xFFFF0000 of the physical memory in the system. My question is which 
APIs(or any other ways) for NLM can be used to read this part of memory? I 
am not going to calculate memory amount.

Regards,

-Mike
