SYNOPSYS
#include "aut101.h" char *autallocheap( Size ) unsigned int Size;
PARAMETERS
Size Number of memory bytes to be contiguously allocated

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; }
