alloc is the rpg way to allocate memory ?  Then you use another instruction
( unalloc ) to free the space ?

If you mix and match your ALCHSS memory with the rpg alloc memory, there
might be trouble at free time.  Can space allocated using the OMI ALCHSS
instruction be freed using the rpg free instruction ?
