Hmmmm.  I guess 5 of us reading Petzold, and developing in windows for 10 months
now isn't good enough for you?  We do GlobalAlloc() the stuff we can, but
when you have a 400K executable, the stack just tends to fill up.  You
weren't telling us to GlobalAlloc() the stack and heap, were you?  I
don't remember Petzold talking about this.  And since Petzold;s book is for
2.11, he wouldn't be telling us to use large model.

Indeed, if you had looked over Petzold, you would have seen where he STRONGLY
reccomends AGAINST using large model.
