Memory Allocation in EXW.EXE

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Ok, I have yet ANOTHER question in my quest to perfect FILEMAN.E
In my haste to rewrite FILEMAN using DOSWRAP, I did not realize that
allocate_low() is a function of EX.EXE, and does not work in EXW.EXE.
Of course, there's always allocate(), but DOS interrupts require that
blocks be allocated in conventional memory. My question is, does anyone
have any ASM routines which will work for me?

I know that int48h and 49h control allocation/deallocation of memory in
DOS, but my ASM skills are nil, and I haven't been able to get anything to
work.  If somebody could write a quick malloc/free routine for EXW, or
send me some working ASM source, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
