I personally would just stop doing that, and instead:


#include "exec/types.h"
#include "libraries/dos.h"

main()
   {
   UBYTE *Map = 0L;

   if(!(Map = (UBYTE *)AllocMem(100000L,MEMF_PUBLIC|MEMF_CLEAR)))
      cleanexit("Not enough mem",RETURN_FAIL);

   /* Then just reference Map as an array, as before */
   

   if(Map) FreeMem(Map,100000L);

   cleanexit("",RETURN_OK);
   }

cleanexit(s,n)
UBYTE *s;
int n;
   {
   /* if you wish, print error if you have somewhere to print it */
   exit(n);
   }
