But this brings up a good point on AllocMem... It would be nice if you could specify something like 'MEMF_END' requesting AllocMem to allocate from the end of it's pool rather than the front. Thus, specific applications which allocate and deallocate constant block-sizes all the time AND stick around in memory (e.g. a RAM disk) could use it and many of the amiga's fragmentation problems would go away. -Matt
