Actually, by taking a closer look I did find the function 0Ch from both the XMS 2.0 and 3.0 standards. This function returns the physical address (called "base address" for the occasion) of the allocated XMS block as a 32bits integer. Now, I could imagine an application (like DOS4GW) that gets such address and puts it into a 24bit field. Such behaviour would effectively limit an application to being able to use only the lowest 15MB of the XMS memory. All this is pure speculation on my part of course, but at least it's "some" plausible theory. Anyway, this doesn't matter much, since the limitation itself is clearly there, and there are ways of dealing with it (as described in my previous messages).
