I was wondering if a C++ class library existed for handling large
amounts of memory.  The thing I have in mind would be able to handle
XMS and EMS (UMB's?  Disk swapping (would have to be optional if
included)) and let the programmer be able to pretend to have all
that available memory for malloc purposes just like base memory.
A few problems I can see would be having to swap the EMS/XMS memory
down into base whenever somebody is wanting to access it.  Could this
be hidden from the user with special classes with function overloading??

Anybody know of such a beasty and where I could find it?

Thanx in advance
