m_alloc_large

m _alloc_large attempts to expand the data space occupied by the application by pgraph_request paragraphs, or 16-byte units.


Syntax:         unsigned int m_alloc_large(unsigned int pgraph_request) 
Parameters:     unsigned int pgraph_request - Number of paragraphs to expand data space
Returns:        0 - for failure 
                If successful - returns paragraph offset (not byte offset) from the 
                beginning of the application's data segment.  Application must deal 
                with all segment normalizations and fix ups after memory moves.

Comments:       This function must be used with care, since it is possible to 
                claim space that cannot be accessed through the DS register (> 64K).
                Since the entire data space of the application may be moved during 
                certain System Manager calls, the application must be certain not to 
                save a segment value that may become invalid.  
                Do not call after making calls to m_get_far_block.
