/* mem_get - allocate memory
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* Mem_get attempts to allocate a block of memory using the malloc
* function call. In the event that the memory is not available,
* mem_get will display an "Out of memory" message for the user
* the first time it encounters the an out of memory situation.
* Subsequent calls to mem_get may fail, but no message will be
* printed.
*
* PARAMETERS
*
* uint len - The amount of memory to allocate
*
* RETURNS
*
* Normally returns the pointer to the newly allocated memory. If
* an error occurs, NULL is returned, and an error message is
* printed.
*
* ERRORS
*
* ENOMEM No memory is available

/* mem_str - duplicate a string into dynamic memory
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* Mem_str attempts to make a copy of string. It allocates space for
* the string, and if the allocation was successfull, copies the old
* string into the newly allocated space.
*
* PARAMETERS
*
* char *str - string to make a copy of
*
* RETURNS
*
* Normally returns a pointer to a new string at least as large
* as strlen(str) + 1, which contains a copy of the the data
* passed in str, plus a null terminator. Returns (char *)NULL
* if enough memory to make a copy of str is not available.
