Well, I don't think there is a Unix-equivalent method for sharing
memory, but I know the following:

1) Multiple threads of one program share a common global data space.
   So all static and global variables will be shared among multiple
   threads in one application.

2) If a single .DLL is referenced by multiple applications at once, I
   believe that it's static and global variables (maybe only the
   exported ones...) are shared among the apps.

3) There may be a way to just allocate shared memory, but I don't
    know.
