Hi Frank,
Sorry about the delay, I've been having BBS troubles.

It's still a good idea, and I don't think it'd take too many pages
of #ifs to cover a large number of compilers & OSs.  Still, it would
be a nasty job for one person; I expect that it would be simpler if
each section was written by someone who is expert in that
compiler/OS.

Actually, (if memory serves me correctly) your routines wouldn't
require much modification to work properly on the Amiga.  OTOH, I
only use the malloc() family routines when I'm writing portable
code, since I normally use the AmigaOS AllocMem() function for
Amiga-specific programs.  FWIW, we also have a cute function called
AllocEntry(), which allocates several blocks at once, using a linked
list.
