Ease of maintenance was the reason I wouldn't "reinvent the wheel". At least
our goal is the same. :) I would have thought it easier and more readable to use
system API's (and hopefully with less debugging).

Of course you may sometimes need memory allocation routines, but I would have
considered writing service programs providing "higher level routines" so that
the need to use memory allocation routines directly would be minimized.

If IBM had provided service programs for dynamic array/list support
I guess most shops would never had to use the malloc routines at all.
