I don't think I stated my problem very clearly.  My concern is that allocating
space with 'new' may confuse farcoreleft().  I know that combining C style 
memory allocation routines (ie. malloc()) and C++ memory allocation routines
(ie. new) will cause problems - I guess what I want to know is 'Is 
farcorleft() C++ aware?'  Does farcoreleft() know about 'new', or is it
specifically a C function.  And if so, is there a C++ version of farcoreleft()?
