Thanks David,
It is amazing. I didn't know it was as easy as:
--get a chunk of low memmory
mem_set_loc = allocate_low(100)
if mem_set_loc = 0 then
puts(1,"can't get low memmory")
abort(1)
end if
Then at the end I freed it with:
free_low(mem_set_loc)
puts(1,"memory succesfully freed")
I have never used these routines before. Now for the fun part, reading it
from the Windows program.
