Hello all,
FYI, the GlobalAlloc family of functions is obsolete in Win32. They are a holdover from 16-bit Windows, and not to be used.
According to the Win32 API, "A process can use the GlobalAlloc and LocalAlloc functions to allocate memory. In the linear 32-bit environment of the Win32 API, the local heap and the global heap are not distinguished. As a result, there is no difference between the memory objects allocated by these functions."
