        - prototype in malloc.h                                                 
                                                                                
        - num = count of elements to allocate                                   
        - size = size of each element;  each element is set to zero;            
                 must be a power of 2 if size is over 128K                      
        - alignment assures compatibility with all data types (para)            
        - returns pointer to allocated block on success or NULL on failure      
        - allocates memory directly from DOS
