Also you might pop over to comp.lang.c where I've just posted a description of the internals of TC++ farmalloc, gleaned from reading the assembler source via the debugger. Watch there for some variations on farheapwalk, farheapfreechack, etc. I'm digging deep and working out the mechanisms, and will put my code samples up for display.
