I'm trying to understand when and why to use GlobalDosAlloc as opposed to
GlobalAlloc.  Assume I am running in enhanced mode.  The only difference I 
have read in the doc is GloabalDosAlloc will allocate the memory under the 
1M line.  Why should that make a difference to an application?  Under what
circumstances should I look at it?
What's the connection with EMS (if any)?

Anybody has experience with that?

Thanks,
Michael
