	    d0			 A0,	 D0 (0:8)

     FUNCTION

	  reentrant, and may be	called by assembly code.

     INPUTS
	  Name - pointer to a null terminated character	string,	or
		  NULL.	 If NULL, this function	will not attach	the
		  port to the system msgport list (it will be private
		  to the caller).

		  if port could	not be allocated.  If Name was non-
		  null,	then the port will have	been added to the
		  system's msgport list.
