HELP! Has anyone out there had trouble with calling the MALLOC function from assembly language programs ? I am using the GEMDOS call to allocate memory and I receive no error, but the pointer returned appears to be very suspect. To be exact, I allocate 32K (size of a LO-RES screen) +256 bytes, make a copy of the returned pointer and align it on a 256 byte boundary. I then set the physical screen base to this pointer so I can see what the memory, I allocated, looks like. This memory is definitely not free, in fact it is being used as I watch it! Naturally I require memory that is not being used. If anyone can help me out it would be most appreciated. Wow ! (Excuse me, this is my first NET posting }:-) Thanks in advance.
