The title should say most of what I want to ask. What I'm trying to do is develop several graphics tools that can sketch different types of graphics objects (lines, symbols, ellipses, etc...), as well as implement a spreadsheet that can store these (and other) types of data. My question is, how do I handle a linked list of items without storing the pointers of each object in each list. One way would be to use the local data segment, but that only leaves a hardcoded limit of 64K. Is there a general software offering for MS Windows that does this kind of complex memory management. I don't want to use a DOS extender, after all I'm probably only (only.. right :-) going to need < 100K for the application. This is MAX, but I don't want to limit the user to 64K unless that is indeed feasible. Any spreadsheet programmers, or word processor programmers would probably be most helpful (Microsoft Excel programmers would be helpful ;-), but anybody that has ever dealt with complex memory management in Windows, is welcome to help. Thanks in advance. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+
