[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Getting at unused memory via malloc, calloc, etc.

hlison@bbn.com (Herb Lison) (10/05/89)

I'm currently using the Microsoft C compiler to port some C code from
UNIX and running into the old memory limitation problem.  The code
is riddled with references to malloc and the MSC documentation explicitly
says that malloc will only get memory out of the current data segment.
Is there anyway to get malloc to take advantage of any unused memory?
Inquiring minds want to know.  Thanks in advance.
