Hi!

I've got an (evidently *DANGEROUS!*, but probably working) idea:

Use EnumWindows() (for USER-module) or EnumObjects() (for GDI-module).  Make
the call-back procedure save the DS before doing *anything* else - either by
using .ASM for the call-back procedure or compiling the source containing
it without the '-Gw' switch so, that the DS is not destroyed before you had
a chance to read it.

Basic assumption: The DS upon invocation of the call-back procedure = DGROUP
of the calling-back module, which can be used to calculate the calling-back
module's local heap size and other relevant information.

Disclaimer: Hack it out, but don't make any use of it unless you agree that
doing so is at your own risk only.

P.S. Anyone know, how the 'Luke HeapWalker' enumerates the segments and
retrieves the information it displays on its window?  Must be difficult
and a bit non-standard, because Microsoft had to rewrite it between SDK
versions 2.0 and 3.0 .
