This is really a .beginners question really, but it's related to
Codewarrior because I use it and love it!

I'm using the MWDebugIO library functions to read in my TIM files
dynamically rather than download them into a specific area of memory via
a batch file. The benefit of this is also that it's easy to free up the
memory once the TIMs have been transferred to the frame buffer

But because these functions require PSComUtil and a lot of people are
using SIOCONS, I will need to forget this and use the standard 'local
dload car.tim 80090000' stuff in a batch file when I release the final
version, with the corresponding
#define CAR_ADDRESS 80090000

and
p = (u_long *)CAR_ADDRESS

and all that stuff

But, I don't know how to free up this memory afterwards. Because it's
not dynamically allocated, free(p) won't work, will it? Do I just  set p
to NULL? Have I answered my own question?

Cheers

Phil
