Hi NetLanders,

I am writing an application that uses more than 64K of data memory.  Most
of the data is organized in numerous linked-lists, mainly smally nodes.
Any pointers on how to allocate the lists in the global heap?  If I
do a GlobalAlloc, won't that slow Windows down incredibly because of the
large number of memory blocks?  And I believe Windows has a limit on
the number of handles.  ALso, GlobalAlloc-ing the nodes will mean a
GLobalLock-GlobalUnlock pair for EVERY pointer access.  Slow.

Please reply to this account.  Thanks in advance for your help.
