I have a trouble with freeing memory. I use malloc to allocate memory and
free to return allocated space. But the problem is that after free it
doesn't raise Free physical memory. I watch
__dpmi_get_free_memory_information to get total number of free pages. 

Could someone help me, how to free memory, because I quickly run out of
physical memory and the program swaps to disk. Thanks in advance for your
help,

Paul


This is what I get :

' Total number of free pages : 3568
data= (double *) malloc(100000*sizeof(double));
'  Total number of free pages : 3567 ??
