INF: Shared Memory in Future Versions of Windows

WINDOWS

All tasks running under the Microsoft Windows graphical environment

can access memory allocated with the GMEM_DDESHARE attribute by the

GlobalAlloc function. This will also be true for future versions of

Windows.

Other methods to share memory that are provided by version 3.0, such

as calling the GlobalAlloc function without the GMEM_DDESHARE flag,

will also work in future versions of Windows for 16-bit applications.

To ease the porting of an application to future 32-bit versions of

Windows, however, use only GMEM_DDESHARE memory.
