then you should write an error report to IBM. they changed to DosAllocMem
docu AFTER devcon 8 to read as above. (the above is a cut&paste from
the OS/2 WARP toolkit from DevCon9 / DevCon10). The docu from OS/2 toolkit
2.0 till WARP toolkit on DevCon8 says somewthing else (that 4K pages are
allocated).

 WARPED!, Mario
