Actually, quite the opposite. You're much better off using malloc and
free to manage memory. The *only* time you'd use the underlying DPMI
calls is if you're dealing with DOS memory, and even then you could
just use the DOS int 0x21 calls instead. If you need to allocate a
chunk of extended memory with a known physical address, use XMS calls
instead.
