- I don't think I stated my problem very clearly. My concern is that allocating
- space with 'new' may confuse farcoreleft(). I know that combining C style
- memory allocation routines (ie. malloc()) and C++ memory allocation routines
- (ie. new) will cause problems - I guess what I want to know is 'Is
- farcorleft() C++ aware?' Does farcoreleft() know about 'new', or is it
- specifically a C function. And if so, is there a C++ version of farcoreleft()?
