Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that this was in V3.0 (I haven't
received my copy of V3.0 yet).  In version 2.0 you can trace the
heap calls to a low level routine named ?alloc (can't remember
the first letter).  It sure looked like C to me.  If JPI has
now 'fixed' this I'm glad, I'd much rather see the heap and IO
routines written in M2 (as in version 1.x) instead of M2 'wrappers'
for C routines (as in version 2.x).
