SYNOPSYS

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

PARAMETER

       Pointer		   pointer to the memory to free.

       Size		   Size of the memory to free.

DESCRIPTION

       The rdsfree function deletes memory of  size='Size'  allocated  with  rdsalloc  function.  If  the  parameter  Size  is	set  to  ZERO  (or
       RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK) then the memory is deleted by BLOCK else the memory is deleted by HEAP.

       Note : A memory allocated by BLOCK (resp. by HEAP) must be deleted by BLOCK (resp. by HEAP).

RETURN VALUE

       nothing

ERRORS

       none

EXAMPLE

		 #include "rdsnnn.h"
	      main()
	       {
		 rdsrec_list *Rectangle;
		 rdsfig_list *Figure;
		      Figure	= allocrdsfig ();
		 Rectangle = allocrdsrec ();
		 Rectangle->X  = 20;
		 Rectangle->Y  = 20;
		 Rectangle->DX = 48;
		 Rectangle->DY = 8;
		 ...
		 /* */ rdsfree ( Rectangle, sizeof (rdsrec_list));
		      /* deletes a figure allocated by block */
		      /* */ rdsfree ( Figure , RDS_ALLOC_BLOCK);
	       }
