NAME
    TypeOfMem -- determine attributes of a given memory address

SYNOPSIS
    attributes = TypeOfMem(address)
    D0                     A1

    ULONG TypeOfMem(void *);

FUNCTION
    Given a RAM memory address, search the system memory lists and
    return its memory attributes.  The memory attributes are similar to
    those specified when the memory was first allocated: (eg. MEMF_CHIP
    and MEMF_FAST).

    This function is usually used to determine if a particular block of
    memory is within CHIP space.

    If the address is not in known-space, a zero will be returned.
    (Anything that is not RAM, like the ROM or expansion area, will
    return zero.  Also the first few bytes of a memory area are used up
    by the MemHeader.)

INPUT
    address - a memory address

RESULT
    attributes - a long word of memory attribute flags.
    If the address is not in known RAM, zero is returned.
