I have a 386 machine with 1MB of memory.  I have some UNIX code that
processes 24-bit images and uses large chunks of memory.
In the process of porting the code to DOS, I ran into the 640K barrier.

The code I'm porting malloc()'s space as necessary, until it hits the 640K
wall.  I'm purchasing 4MB of Extended memory, and
I would like to just malloc() space out of Extended memory, can someone
point me to information -- or existing C libraries -- that will help me out?

I'm using TC 2.0 by the way.
