In Borland C[++], alloc.h contained the prototypes for malloc(), free(),
etc. These functions are in stdlib.h in DJGPP. So if you use #include
<stdlib.h>, you should get equivalent functionality.

In Borland code, watch out for "near" and "far" stuff which is meaningless
and makes the compiler complain in GCC. FAQ section 17.7 talks about ways of
dealing with this. If you knew that already, sorry to be patronizing.
