Hi windowers, I have 2 questions for you all. 1. I have heard about using multiple data segments in a windows programs some where. Can anyone explain to me about the technical details for programming. I would like to do this so that I can have many static and global variables in my program. I would also like to know whether this will help in using LocalAlloc() to allocated memory junks above 64K. I may be wrong in my ideas about multiple data segments as I have only heard of it and I am trying to derive at the uses of it. 2. I would like to know whether Expanded/Extended memory can be used by programs directly. What does windows do with Expanded/Extended memory. Can we use that area also by using special calls to windows. All the above questions are related to my problem where I want large amount of memory dynamically for one of the applications I am writing. Please email to me the replies. I will summarize to the net if there is enough interest. Thanks in advance, balaji (balaji@nsc.nsc.com)
