- I wondered about this too.. without trying to remember too many details,
- I noticed all my mallocs in TurboC were displayed as pointers in the form
- segment:0008.. The word at segment:0000 was the size of my block+8,
- the word at segment:2 looked like a pointer to another block.. the others
- I couldnt determine..

- Id be interested in finding out what this information is..
