Hello folks,
anyone know of any replacements for the default DJGPP malloc?
I've done some searches but nothing useful has turned up;
apart from BGET at http://www.fourmilab.ch/bget/ which
looks interesting but does a little more than I want.

I want to try a *memory* efficient version of malloc since I'm
allocating a number (approx 16) buffers varying in size from 256K to
over 2MB and I don't want virtual memory to kick in.

How should I link the new malloc (so libc version is ignored)?

Thanks,
Jason.
