Dear Gurus,

We have bought recently a multichannel analyzer card for one of our
386s. Now I would like to write some software to read out this card.
Together with the card they shipped a demo program (source code and
executables). The executeable works fine. They quote that the executable
was obtained using Turbo C++.

I modified the program and want to compile it withg djgpp, but he tells
me that he cannot find the file alloc.h. If I remove the #include
<alloc.h>, he compiles, but stops during linking with a number of
undefined references, which I guess are defined in alloc.h:

richgain.cc(.text+0x19b): undefined reference to `farmalloc'
richgain.cc(.text+0x5cd): undefined reference to `peek'
richgain.cc(.text+0x5e5): undefined reference to `peek'
richgain.cc(.text+0x603): undefined reference to `peekb'
richgain.cc(.text+0x67b): undefined reference to `MK_FP'
richgain.cc(.text+0x694): undefined reference to `movmem'
richgain.cc(.text+0x72d): undefined reference to `FP_SEG'
richgain.cc(.text+0x742): undefined reference to `FP_OFF'

There are a number of other header files included in the program like
stdio.h which give no problems. I tried also to find alloc.h on my disk
(even with preceding underscore) but I had no luck. I also tried follow
the instructions in the FAQ (take care that it's compiled as C++ etc.)
But nothing helped. Has anybody an idea where I can get this file?
Thanks. I append some info about the system.

Regards,   Georg
