37 /* FUNCTION
38 Allocate a number of memory blocks through a MemList structure.
40 INPUTS
41 entry - The MemList with one MemEntry for each block you want to get
43 RESULT
44 The allocation was successful if the most significant bit of the
45 result is 0. The result then contains a pointer to a copy of
46 the MemList structure with the me_Addr fields filled.
47 If the most significant bit is set the result contains the type of
48 memory that couldn't be allocated.
