m_alloc

Syntax:         char * m_alloc(unsigned int exp_size) 
Parameters:     unsigned int exp_size - Amount of space (in bytes) to expand the data 
                                         space (rounded to the next multiple of 16) 
Returns:        0 - for failure
                Failure may be caused by a request which would grow the applications 
                total data space beyond 64K or by an exhaustion of system memory.  
                Offset (near address in AX) of the new buffer - if successful
Related Calls:  m_alloc_large
Comments:       If exp_size is not a multiple of 16 (the size of a paragraph), it will 
                be rounded up to the next multiple.  
                On first call, the new block will follow the stack of application.  
                On subsequent calls, new blocks will immediately follow previous 
                allocation.
                Do not call after making calls to m_get_far_block.
