According to Petzold (Programming Windows 3.1 p303) "The routines in the [Windows] start-up code convert the normal C memory allocation functions [calloc, malloc, realloc, and free] into equivalent Windows memory allocation functions." This would appear to mean that I can use the standard C calloc () function if I want. Correct? I ask because I'm occasionally receiving an Exception 13 on a calloc () in my file save functionality and when I'm not (receiving the Exception 13), many other normally working functions go haywire after attempting to save. Since the rest of the save functionality seems to be working properly, would I be wasting my time converting all the calloc ()'s to LocalAllocs ()... or does Windows really NOT do the appropriate conversion? thanks, jeff@tct.com
