I am trying to use AllocRemember/FreeRemember to keep track of all the
resources that I allocate, but it does not seem to work properly.  Here
is what I have .    

In the main function in one file I have ...

struct Remember *resources = (struct Remember*)NULL;

In a second file, I have the following:

extern struct Remember *resources;
.....
tgad = AllocRemember( resources, sizeof(struct Gadget), MEMF_CHIP );


In a third file:
extern struct Remember *resources;
......
if (resources)
{
   printf("memory freed\n");
   FreeRemember( resources, TRUE );
}

The printf never gets executed so the memory is not freed.  The only
memory I allocate is for eight gadgets (as in above call).  The system
loses 512 bytes each time.  I  am new to these functions and would
appreciate any help as to what I am doing wrong.  Thank You.
