        Thanks to all the people which sent me some help with the problem I was
having on the Malloc() function.  Part of the problem was bad C programming ( I
am new at the langauge :-)) but in the process of solving I discovered the main
cause.  It was the set up of the disk

        Set up as follows for using Sozobon C on a 512K STFM machine

        100K eternal2 RAM drive
        Gulam .. latest version
        Disk volumes set up as instructed in documentation

   When the program is complied with the RAM drive installed it produced the
error _malloc error_, this only occured if Malloc() (or malloc()) was included
in the program.

        Could anybody explain why this has happened

Thanks in advance

Dave
