 That is moderate in size compared to some of the programs I have worked
on... it's definitely not huge, IMO.  If you structure your program well it
should be possible to deallocate these pointers in a very elegant way. 
Obviously that doesn't mean lining them all up and freeing one after the
other at the end of main.  Every program has a natural flow of creation and
destruction.  It's up to the programmer to handle that flow tastefully.

 I disagree.  If you follow the fidonet technical specification the wasted
memory would be very minimal.  Those bytes would have been important in the
days of 640k DOS memory.  On a modern Linux or Windows system the little
bit of unused padding is inconsequential.
