Get smbios structure

[AbinLee]

Hi..

I wanna get the smbios structure in Win32 environment (95-Xp)
I heard four methods to do this:

1. Use direct memory access. Smbios information stores from 0x0000f000, we can parse this area into useful data. But it can't be implemented with 32bits application in NT+ envirnoment because of OS's access protection.

2. Use driver in NT+ or vxd in 95/98

3. Run 16bits application

4. Use WMI

I wanna make a application to get smbios structure without driver, and it can be used at every platform. I can't use WMI because some OS have no WMI support (95/98/NT)

Can someone give me a little advice?

I have some source codes to dump bios written in assembly and dephi, but I can't use those resources in C/C++/VC++..
