From the MWC docs:

Mshrink - gemdos function 74.  Shrink amount of allocated memory.

#include <osbind.h>
long Mshrink(begin, length)
long begin, length;

*Mshrink* shrinks the amount of memory allocated by a program, and
returns dynamic memory to the free memory pool.  _begin_ points to the
beginning of the space to be returned, and _length_ indicates the
amount of memory to be returned.  *Mshrink* returns zero if memory
could be de-allocated, and non-zero if it could not.  

NOTES
The *gemdos* call has a third parameter that is always zero; the
Mshink macro inserts this parameter automatically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the <osbind.h> file came from Atari, so most compilers should
support the two parameters mentioned, and automagically insert the 0
parameter.
