	This is also true for standard mode.  Malloc and Free code
examples follow:

char	*malloc(nbytes)
	WORD	nbytes;
{
	HANDLE h;

	if ((h=GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE,DWORD(nbytes))) == NULL)
		return ((char *)0);
	else
		return ((char *)GlobalLock(h));
}

void	free(ptr)
	char	*ptr;
{
	HANDLE h;

	h = LOWORD(GlobalHandle(HIWORD(ptr)));
	GlobalUnlock(h);
	GlobalFree(h);
	return;
}
