I allocate some memory with "GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE|GMEM_ZEROINIT,2048)"
in instance 1 of my program.  I store the handle to this memory in a
class extra word.  Instance 2 shares this memory, by getting the handle from
the class word.

This works fine, until instance 1 terminates; at this point instance 2
can no longer GlobalLock.  It looks like Windows is calling GlobalFree
for me.  Other than writing a DDE for sharable memory, how can I prevent the
freeing and allow sharing?

English Lesson: THEY'RE at THEIR home, over THERE. YOU'RE sure of YOUR facts?
"Its" & "their" are like 'his'. "They're" == "they are." "It's" == "it is."
If you can do regular expressions, you can handle a natural language. Syntax!
