        This has most likely been on the net before so replies to this query
should be Emailed if possible.

        Query..  I have just got a copy of Sozobon C and began to right of
couple of programs for it. One of these programs was a simple screen load
program to swap between screens stored in memory.  This program required the
use of the Gemdos function Malloc, however the complier refused to complie.
Thinking that this was a fault in the program I just entered I entered this
very small program:

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <osbind.h>

        main()
        {
        long address;
        address=Malloc(-1);
        printf(address);
        }

        The complier returned with Malloc failure.

        I am doing something wrong or is there a bug in the complier? If it is
a bug is there a way round it.

Thanks in advance

Dave
