My question on how many allocations should have been restated to ask "What is the maximum total heap for a given application" I'm not clear as to whether 64K is the total heap for a given app or whether its the largest single call one to make to allocate memory. I'm using malloc,free right now which I think in CodeWarrior is mapped to MemPtrNew, MemPtrFree and probably the same in GNU. I'm hoping this depends on the Device, an 8MB device would presumably over more usable heap than a 4MB device.

I can't seem to find any informationon MemSemaphore in Rhodes, McKeehan or Foster. Is this a 68K Palm OS function? Evidently this is a trick to get more memory and treat as dynamic on the Palm. What OS has this function, 3.5 and above. If I were to allocate the following blocks on a Palm would it be a problem? 12K 50K 15K 36K 16K 25K 62K Would the Palm let me do all these allocations in a single program run? Thanks for your help.
