I am porting an application to Windows 3.0 that makes extensive use
of linked lists. Storage needs are sufficiently large that I have
to use global memory. I know just enough about Windows programming that
I realize it is Bad Thing to leave memory locked. However, unlocking means
that all the links pointing to the prev/next list elements are garbage
every time Windows moves memory around. Is there a solution to this problem?
I was hoping to avoid using a different type of 'collection' data structure
as that would involve considerable rewriting.

Thanks for any answers,
