Lattice's memory routines allocate a growing pool. Doing a free()
doesn't release the memory back to the OS, but puts it back in the
pool for reuse by the Lattice memory manager.

They work fine for me. The obvious problem - did you open the
intuition library? The Remember routines are in it, and calling them
will guru if you don't have it open.
