Hi everybody,

I am having problems with the imagesize() function in TurboC. The problem
is that when I use this function the size of the image that the function
return is smaller than the actual size of memory needed to store the
image. After get the size needed, I use malloc() to allocate memory to store 
the image. When I execute getimage() using the pointer returned by malloc as
a buffer, it overwrite some of my memory (and some times CRASH my machine).
Those functions are used for graphic mode. Actually, I am using an EGA card.
Did anybody have the same problem?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel A. Rivera
