   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.
