This is a quick question.
If in a program you have the following statement :

	ptr = AllocMem( 100L , MEMF_FAST );

how will the Amiga handle the case when the is no fast ram left ?

I would think that a lack of fast ram would cause chip ram to be allocated
but I can't find anywhere that explicitly says that this is the case.
