I'm trying to create some C++ class libraries for use in my Windows
programming (who isn't!)

I'd like to put my class libraries in a DLL.  This sounds nice, except
that the constructor allocats the storage for the class.  If the
constructor is in the DLL, then the memory allocated comes from
the DLL's near heap -- if I have lots of applications using my DLL,
I could run out of near heap.

What have I got wrong?  Is it unreasonable to put C++ class libraries in
a DLL?  (I sure do hate having duplicate code loaded with multiple
applications.)

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!
