Whats the difference between malloc, farmalloc, calloc, etc?
I didn't see anything in FAQ, nor really anything helpful in
bchelp10.zip.  I have read what is in the Turbo C 2.0 manual, so
I know that malloc is DOS specific while calloc can be found in 
Unix.  I know the general differences between farmalloc and malloc
as described in the manuals, but what I am really interested in is to 
understand, WHEN one would prefer to use one or the other. 

Second, is there a relation between these *allocs and the memory model
that is used with the compiler? If one uses farmalloc, must one
compile with a compact or large model?  It seems that I could compile
farmalloc with a small model and the compiler wouldn't complain.

(As some of you may realize, my "general" interest in this is connected
to trying to get a >64K array up and running with a huge pointer, but
perhaps it is worth knowing about this topic more generally.)
