NewPtrSys
NewPtrSys Allocate a nonrelocatable block of memory in the system
heap
#include <Memory.h> Memory Manager
Ptr NewPtrSys(theSize );
Size theSize ; desired allocation, in bytes (a 32-bit value)
returns address of allocated block; NIL if error
NewPtrSys is a variation on the routine NewPtr. It behaves just like
NewPtr, except that it allocates the memory in the system heap.
theSize specifies how much memory you wish to allocate.
Returns: a Ptr; the address of the allocated space or NIL (0) if there wasn't
room in the heap zone for the allocation. The MemError function
may return an Error Code of:
noErr (0) No error
memFullErr (-108) No room in heap
Notes: See NewPtr for more information.
