If not, why not? In 1986, under lattice 3.03, i admired their clever design and used them all the time. They are neat. In fact a #defined malloc to be an AllocRemember. When LC 4.0 came along, it appeared that their malloc called AllocRemember, and so i stopped #defining things. When Arp came along i started using ArpAlloc. AllocRemember and friends are useful if your storage consists of many heaps, as that is essentially what they buy you (i.e. mark/restore but on a heap of your choice). But generally i think most people allocate and free discrete things, and for this they are less useful. ron
