Hmm, this reminds me of what happened when Atari brought out the XL 
operating system for the 8-bit computer..  A LOT of programs broke 
because programmers did not follow the rules...

I have Mark Williams C, and am curious:  What is the difference between
malloc() and Malloc() ????  I am writing a slideshow/picture viewing
program, and when I used malloc() to get a 32k block of memory for a
picture, the picture always had some stray data at the top (looked
suspiciously like the other variables I was using)..  However, when I
used Malloc() this disappeared.  Boy, I almost pulled my hair out
trying to figure out what was wrong!!!
