Can someone please clarify the following :

Under enhanced and standard mode, I am now allowed to GlobalAlloc chunks greater
than 64K. I assume I am also able to GlobalLock these large chunks. Question is,
how do I access this memory? For example, suppose I wanted to create a memory
chunk filled with letter 'a', would the following work?

  hMem = GlobalAlloc (GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_ZEROINIT, 70000);
  lpStr = GlobalLock (hMem);
  for (i=0; i < 70000; i++)
      *lpStr++ = 'a';

  /* what a useful code segment! */


Or would I have to worry about segment boundaries etc, possibly through
the use of this mysterious _ahincr?
