Summary: HELP!!!


I have spent all day trying to get AllocMem to work with my Aztec
compiler.  I refuse to break down and use 32-bit integers.  So
what am I supposed to do??  I have tried the code in the RKM,
which does not work.  I have tried declaring AllocMem() as:
  extern APTR         long             APTR
  extern APTR *       long *           APTR *
  struct APTR *       char             void
  struct APTR         char *           void *
None of them work.  They all return a NULL pointer!  BTW, I am not
as dumb as this looks.  I knew that void would not work.  But take a
look at Aztec's list of Amiga functions AND at the functions.h file
in the include directory -- they both list AllocMem as a void of all
things!!

Bottom line:  If anyone can tell me how to AllocMem a structure (I am
trying for FileInfoBlock), without using the 32-bit compiler option and
32-bit linker library, PLEASE let me know!  Please reply through mail, as
I am too busy banging my head against the wall to read news with any
regularity.

Thanks, dudes and dudettes!
