Overview
This unit replaces GetMem and FreeMem. When using the Turbo
Pascal Heap (in Version 6), you will find that you are not
permitted to get more than 64 kb.
By using {$M <StackSize>,0,0} in your program, no heap is allocated
for your program. This leaves all that memory available to DOS.
You can then get blocks of this memory from the procedures in this
unit, even blocks greater than 64 kb.
This unit can also replace the Graph.GetImage function as the
function does not give values for sprites greater than 64 kb in
size.
To use this unit, simply place DosMem as the last unit in your
Uses statement. Any GetMem's will then use the DOS heap.
If you still want to use the Pascal Heap you can, using
System.GetMem.
