Accessing Heap Zones

The majority of applications, which allocate memory in their application heap zone
only, do not need to use any of the routines in this section. The few applications
that do allocate memory in zones other than the application heap zone can use the
GetZone function and the SetZone procedure to get and set the current zone, the ApplicationZone and SystemZone functions to obtain pointers to the application and system zones, and the HandleZone and PtrZone functions to find the zones in which relocatable and nonrelocatable blocks lie.
