Hey, what's all this 64 KB allocation stuff?!

  I thought that was gone?

  Can you explain (from a point of view of an C/ASM programmer who
  doesn's know all the specifics of OS/2) what exactly happens when you
  call DosAllocMem(1000000)? Sorry, I didn't quite understand all you
  extensive explanations :( I'll go back at them tonight, and will try
  hard to figure them out.

   Do you get a single descritor with a 1000000 byte limit, or a bunch
   of small descriptors with 65536 limits?

   And if it is the later, what exactly happens when you try to acces
   say the 500000th byte? Is there some overhead involved in
   calculating exactly which descriptor covers it?

  What's going on inside there? :)
