1. Is anyone still reading this NG?

2. I was curious about OS/2 memory allocation (DosAllocMem), and too 
lazy to see if the information I want is in the redbooks, which probably 
don't reflect the current status of ArcaOS anyway.

At any rate I recalled that each call to DosAlloc allocates 64K (65536) 
bytes, and my question was whether or not there was any overhead in the 
allocated memory. I write a Q+D program that made two allocations of one 
byte each, followed by two allocations of 64K, and in all cases the 
addresses of the allocated memory were 64K apart, so no overhead.

[probably y'all knew this already]

3. I was going to make a note on the talk page for DosAllocMem page in 
the edm2 wiki to help out any other clueless people who might happen 
along, but either talk isn't implemented or I need to sign on because I 
got a message something like "unable to handle this request" when I 
clicked talk.
