Here is my problem:

I wish to allocate a buffer in my app and lock it into memory, since it
has to be accessed by an int handler. I suppose that
_go32_dpmi_lock_data should work for this. However, when processing is
finished, i want to unlock and free the buffer, but in the library there
is no complementary unlock_data routine (perhaps is the memory
automatically unlocked when i call free()? ).

Many thanks to anyone able to give me some advice.
