It is completely safe to use a DLL's data segment to share
information between applications. The tricky part is
notifying the other app that new data is available.

For those of you who will receive the 3.1 SDK I encourage
you to look into the new DDEML.DLL library for using DDE
to perform interapp communication.

I hated DDE and now it is almost fun since the new library
eliminates ALL the dirty work.

DDEML is completely compatible with the older message based
DDE. You supply DDEML with a callback function and it calls
you with several informative parameters when some 
DDE thing is happening.

It also provides a nifty Abort, retry ignore dialog when
transactions are taking too long.
