[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] Problem with programming

Hi Guys

I have written a small program using Devpac to display a bitmap file on
the screen and manipulate it using the copper. During this process, the
program requests memory from the  system (AllocMem) for both copper
lists and bitmap. When I run the avail command after running this
program, I find that although all memory has been returned to the system
and the available memory is still the same, the largest segment of
memory is only around 40K. The graphics data is very small so whats happening?

Any help welcome



Oh and PS I do use FreeMem to release the memory 

Thanks
