If you don't use the LARGE memory model, and if you use GlobalAlloc to get
additional memory, is there any way you could call C library functions (eg,
strcmp, sprintf), using data from that additional memory? Do you have to
re-implement any such function? I seem to remember that one of the sample
programs in the SDK does implement strcmp with mixed NEAR / FAR arguments.
This is easy, though probably inefficient, but re-implementing sprintf may
not be exactly where one wants to spend one's time.
