All exec.library memory allocation functions are returning at least 4 byte
aligned memory, so you can use AllocMem() as well.
If you're allocating FileInfoBlock structure you should use AllocDosObject(
DOS_FIB, NULL ); and free it using FreeDosObject( DOS_FIB, fib ); instead of
AllocMem()/AllocVec() or anything else...
Twelvebullets remember, when you're allocating resources you HAVE TO check
return value! It's VERY bad if you're not doing it even in test/example
program...
