I am using the OS/2 version of the compiler.
I am looking for a way to manage a heap in high memory (above the 512 MB 
address).

For OS/2, will _bheapseg allocate a heap in the conventional memory 
(below 512 MB) or will it attempt to allocate in high memory if possible ?

Is there any way to influence this with an OS/2 specific compiler switch 
or some define ?

Thanks,
Lars
