I wondered about this too.. without trying to remember too many details,
I noticed all my mallocs in TurboC were displayed as pointers in the form
segment:0008.. The word at segment:0000 was the size of my block+8,
the word at segment:2 looked like a pointer to another block.. the others
I couldnt determine.. 

Id be interested in finding out what this information is..
