SYNOPSYS

       #include "aut101.h"
       void autfreeheap( Pointer, Size )
	  char	       *Pointer;
	  unsigned int Size;

PARAMETERS

       Pointer		   Pointer to be given back to the heap.

       Size		   Size of the block previously allocated by autallocheap.

DESCRIPTION

       autfreeheap frees a pointer and puts the block back to the heap.  Its use is necessary to  free	memory	blocks,  previously  allocated	by
       autallocheap.

RETURN VALUE

       autfreeheap returns nothing.

EXAMPLE

       #include "aut101.h"
       typedef struct bipointer
       {
	 struct bipointer *NEXT;
	 void		  *DATA;
       } bipointer;
       bipointer *addbipointer( Data );
	 void *Data;
       {
	 bipointer *Bp = (bipointer *)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
	 Bp->DATA = Data;
	 return Bp;
       }
       void delbipointer( Bp );
	 bipointer *Bp;
       {
	 autfreeheap( Pointer, sizeof( bipointer ) );
       }
