I want to allocate some memory for a screen buffer in one of my prgrams. I need 192000 bytes. My question is: what function is it best to use to allocate this memory? I know about malloc but is it better to use one of the other __dpmi_... memory allocation functions, if so which one and how are they used? Thankyou for your help. Graham.
