     int dynamicfieldinfo(FIELD *field, int *drows, int *dcols, int *max);


DESCRIPTION
     fieldinfo() returns the size,  position,  and  other  named
     field  characteristics,  as  defined in the original call to
     newfield(), to the locations pointed to  by  the  arguments
     rows, cols, frow, fcol, nrow, and nbuf.


     dynamicfieldinfo() returns the actual size of the field in
     the  pointer  arguments drows, dcols and returns the maximum
