[comp.sys.atari.st] reserving memory

jg@hpldola.HP.COM (Joe Gilray) (01/17/90)

I'm using MWC v3, when I malloc() all of the available memory my program
recovers.  But now when it calls fsel_input() to allow the user to save
his or her data an alert box is displayed which says something like
"system does not have enough memory for directory".  How can I ensure
that malloc() always leaves the system with "enough memory" to display
the fsel_input() dialog box?

Also if there is such a technique, what is a good amount of memory
to reserve?

Thank you for any help!
