Can somebody help me?

	I need a DLL that will allow me to:
		Allocate & Free Memory, and will let me read/write byte data
values to the allocated memory.  Here's the problem:
	Visual Basic will allow me to use GlobalAlloc and the other memory 
functions, but being BASIC, I can't access it.
	Here's the functions I'd need:
	(in BASIC prototype form)
	Function PEEK (Ptr As Long) as Integer 'Using integers because there
	Sub POKE (Ptr As Long, Value as Integer) 'is no single byte type.
	Function MemoryAllocate (Size as Long) as Long
	Sub MemoryFree (Ptr as Long)

Is there such a DLL?  Can someone write one?  
Any help would be appriciated.

Thanx in advance
Brian Wheeler
