DOS4GW variables's a cool scene. Dig it!

  Just malloc or calloc it or use the "new" operator.

  You don't need to move anithing around. If you're compiling and
linking in protected mode using DOS4GW then all memory you allocate
using standard C/C++ functions is allocated in extended memory.
  You can allocate memory below the 640k barrier if you need it (for
some DOS or system related purpose, for example). Check the online
help (Programmer's Guide) for more information.
