>From what I can remember:
The easy way to tell if any of these flags are mutually INclusive
is to do a bit by bit comparison of the values in the include
files. If MEMF_ANY contains *all* the bits in MEMF_PUBLIC then
there is no point in putting MEMF_ANY|MEMF_PUBLIC in your
code...
Not that it really matters anyway. If what you coded clears the
memory that you want it to then fine. Just as long as it doesn't
stomp all over someone elses memory.
