Dear Sir or Madam:

We are having problems and hope we can get some help from someone
with more programming skill.

We need to know how to get the address that a newly allocated pointer
(Turbo Pascal ver 4.0) points to for an application involving direct
memory access (DMA). In particular, we are using a software routine
for the DMA which requires the segment and offset of a variable and
we are forced to use dynamic memory allocation and pointers because
our sample density exceeds the 64K Turbo Pascal limit. If you know
how to get the address of the newly allocated memory that the pointer
points to we would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Please send e-mail to snyder@uclac1.chem.ucla.edu or snyder@uclach.bitnet.
Thank you very much.
