I wrote my own routines for accessing extended memory on the atari, but they aren't very fancy.  I have a routine that tests for extended memory banks, and a routine that then switches them in.  I would like to see some routines that allow you to:

1. malloc and free memory from extended memory and use it in your program easily.
2. not worry about your code being banked out.
3. auto-detect available memory banks.

I imagine that copying the memory into a buffer from extended memory might work for most applications.  If a person wants to have a screen or display lists in extended memory, they will use their own routines for that I imagine.
