SHOWMEM is a sample application that allows the user to allocate, free, and manipulate memory from the global heap. Different "what if" scenarios can be demonstrated without writing and rewriting code. Information about global heap objects is displayed using the GlobalEntryHandle() and ModuleFindHandle() TOOLHELP.DLL functions. Additional information about how to use the global heap functions is provided, as well as a collection of related Microsoft Knowledge Base articles in help-file format.
