- Yes, the DosAllocShrSeg function under 1.3 does exactly that. There is
- an equivalent routine in 2.0, but I don't have the call sequence in front
- of me. Check the manual for the developer's kit under memory management
- in the CP reference section. Examples are generally good.
-
- Drop me e-mail if you still have problems. It might be about time to port
- some of that old 1.3 code to 2.0 and learn the new call sequences.
