Forgot to ask:

how do you convert (under OS/2 and using high memory if possible) a 
based address (which _bmalloc returns) into a full 32-bit linear address ?
I would appreciate if someone could provide a small code snippet ...
If all of this does not work under 32-bit OS/2, does anyone know any 
other functions in the Watcom RTL that would allow me to manage a heap 
in high memory ?
