It depends on what you are going to do with it. LV arrays and
other data types allocate memory. When passed to a CIN or DLL,
that memory can be written to or even resized. If you are
within a DLL or CIN and wish to allocate a new block of
memory, then you can either use the LV functions like DSNewHandle,
or you can use system calls like new, malloc, or VirtualAlloc.
I can't tell enough in this email to be able to give a better
answer.
