Hi All,
Please give this a whirl. It is an EXE so it will run under Windows DOS box, and should be compatible with DOS' stdout so GETMEM > filename.txt should be good to go. Notice that E820 will not work from Windows, nor E801, oh, and memory probing won't be done if in a Windows DOS session, though PnP BIOS should determine a true memory reading from within Windows. For the exciting tell all story (running the program so it does everything) you should run it from a true DOS session so that E820, E801, and memory probing work. I would be interested in the corresponding text files and what machine specs it was run against, in Windows or just DOS, etcetera. Thanks!

OK, so it didn't upload my EXE... 
I don't have an archiver available here to upload it in an ZIP or other.

Another try...rename getmem.smiddy to getmem.exe.

This is what it said about my mom's XP box (320mb RAM):

BTW: funny versioning "0.17.021E"...

Thanks!
Yeah, the .021E is the number of times it has been compiled successfully. The .17 is the number of major functions within the application. Since it is 0. than I haven't released it yet. That would be 1.00...but I have two more BIOSes to add to the checks, SMBIOS and ACPI. ACPI is a variant of PnP so it shouldn't bee too difficult to implement, at least from what I've read. The SMBIOS will take me some time to look at and implement.
