 GETMEM                   Allocate Space on the Heap                  pp 125

 Syntax:  GetMem (PtrVar,ByteCnt) ;

 Type:    N/A

 Form:    Procedure

 Purpose: Allocate ByteCnt number of bytes in Heap space to PtrVar pointer.

 Notes:   GetMem will allocate space on the heap.  Unlike NEW, it will
          allocate the amount of space requested by the programmer.

          PtrVar is a pointer variable that will point to the allocated
          space, and ByteCnt is an integer variable holding the count.

 Usage:
       VAR
          ByteCnt : Integer        ;  { Bytes of memory to get     }
          PtrVar  :^Integer        ;  { Point to Integer data type }

       BEGIN
          GetMem (PtrVar, ByteCnt) ;  { Allocate the memory         }
       END.
