  1. memry removal.

This should be no-brainer. These functions never seemed to do anything useful. The only oddity was with alloc_string which rounded the allocation upwards to nearest multiple of 4. Based on my review of code, I could not identify any value in this feature, so even alloc_string was simply transformed to malloc.

memry.* are removed. All code is adjusted to simply call malloc and free instead.

listio.* are removed. The list reading function in these files appears to have been unused, and contained the only invocation of strsave define, which was one of the alloc_string users, so I removed both of them.

I like this change overall apart from one thing:
Introducing calls to malloc and free is a backwards step.
How about replacing the underlying pointer variables with std::array, thus hiding all calls to allocate and delete the memory?
