Hi, everyone.  I'm developing a Windows front end to an existing DOS program.
I have run into two problems.  

1) I have a help document that I load into a buffer created with LocalAlloc.  
I am then able to scroll throught the document, page UP/DOWN, etc. with no 
problem.  Once in a while, especially if there has been rapid repeated 
paging through the document, when I quite the help and the program attemps to
execute the LocalFree function, I get the good ol' SYSTEM ERROR, with the 
pushbuttons CANCEL & RETRY, both of which will shoot me right out of Windows.
I used CodeView to pin point exactly where the error occurs, but I have no 
idea why.

2) The icon I with to use is unfortunately in BMP form.  Is there some utility
that allows one to convert a BMP to ICO format?

Please e-mail me if you can help me with either of these problems.  Thanks!
