Hi there everyone,
I'm new to DJGPP and i'm a bit stuck. I want to allocate some memory for a
screen buffer in one of my prgrams. I need 192000 bytes. My question is:
what function is it best to use to allocate this memory? I know about malloc
but is it better to use one of the other __dpmi_...  memory allocation
functions, if so which one and how are they used?

Thankyou for your help.
Graham.
