This message pertains to DosSubFreeMem() and related functions.

When it frees a block, does it join together contiguous free areas of
memory?

We're getting a problem where we're running out of memory prematurely.

In general, is the algorithm for allocating and freeing fairly
intelligent?

Thanks for any help.
