A while back there was some discussion about DOS's inability to coalesce
freed memory and several people posted solutions. I have a couple of questions
regarding this. First, what is "coalescing"? Why is it needed? When is it
need (ie, when freeing objects from dynamic data structures?)? Lastly, how
is it done? Examples in C and/or assembly would be appreciated. Thank you.
