NAME
       AllocateTextBuffer

SYNOPSIS
      #include <textbuff.h>
        ...
      extern TextBuffer * AllocateTextBuffer(filename, f, d)
      char * filename;
      TextUpdateFunction f;
      caddr_t d;

DESCRIPTION
      The AllocateTextBuffer function is used to allocate a new TextBuffer.
      After it allocates the structure itself, initializes the members of the
      structure, allocating storage, setting initial values, etc.  The routine
      also registers the update function provided by the caller.  This function
      normally need not be called by an application developer since the
      ReadFileIntoTextBuffer and ReadStringIntoTextBuffer functions call this
      routine before starting their operation.  The routine returns a pointer
      to the allocated TextBuffer.

      The FreeTextBuffer function should be used to deallocate the storage
      allocated by this routine.
