SYNOPSIS

mixed *allocate(int size)

DESCRIPTION

Allocate an array of size elements. The number of elements must be >= 0 and not bigger than a system maximum (usually 1000).

Note that this function is hardly needed anymore, because arrays can be added by the + operator, and can be constructed and initialized by the ({ }) operator. The function's only use to construct big empty arrays.

EXAMPLE

	string *buffer;
	buffer = allocate(50);
