Unit MemAlloc;
{ Purpose is to provide the ability to create (destroy) dynamic variables }
{ without needing to reserve heap space at compile time. }
Interface
Function Malloc(Var Ptr; Size : Word) : Word;
{ Allocate free memory and return a pointer to it. The amount of memory }
{ requested from DOS is calculated as (Size/4)+1 paragraphs. If the }
{ allocation is successful, the untyped VAR parameter Ptr will be populated }
{ with the address of the allocated memory block, and the function will return}
{ a zero result. Should the request to DOS fail, Ptr will be populated with }
{ the value NIL, and the function will return the appropriate DOS error code. }
Function Dalloc(Var Ptr) : Word;
{ Deallocate the memory pointed to by the untyped VAR parameter Ptr }
Function DosMemAvail : LongInt;
{ Return the size of the largest contiguous chuck of memory available for use }
