Item Subject: Message text What do you mean by not having a Pascal/iX outer block? Does this mean that if you are using p_getheap and p_rtnheap from another language (ie. SPLash!) that the two undocumented routines are necessary? We have been doing exactly this for many years. Are you saying that we have never been reusing our returned heap space?
