I try to stay out of MEMF_PUBLIC arguments, Gary <grin>… I've seen at
least a half-dozen interpretations of it so far. Some people swear it's
for protected memory, others swear the opposite, and so on. The only thing
people do agree on, is that it's been misused one way or the other 🙂
Relenting on my own promise a bit – the manual seems to indicate (to me)
that it's memory whose logical address must not change from task to task. I
suppose in other OS's that would be considered "system global memory".
Someone mentioned a bunch of other oddball MEMF_ types in 2.0, btw. best
