  NAME  rtAllocRequestA()


    req = rtAllocRequestA (type, taglist);


    APTR rtAllocRequestA (ULONG, struct TagItem *);
    D0                    D0     A0


    req = rtAllocRequest (type, tag1,...);


    APTR rtAllocRequest (ULONG, Tag,...);


  DESCRIPTION
    Allocates a requester structure for you in a future compatible manner.
    This is the only way to properly allocate a rtFileRequester,
    rtFontRequester, rtReqInfo or rtScreenModeRequester structure.  The
    structure will be initialized for you.


    Use rtFreeRequest() to free the requester structure when you no longer
    need it.


  INPUTS
    type    - type of structure to allocate, currently RT_REQINFO,
              RT_FILEREQ, RT_FONTREQ or RT_SCREENMODEREQ.
    taglist - pointer to array of tags (currently always NULL).


  TAGS
    no tags defined yet


  RESULT
    req - pointer to the requester allocated or NULL if no memory.


  BUGS
    none known
