I asked about the Win functions cause I have a core Library of "source code" which I compile to Win16 DLL, Win32DLL, and DOS/DPMI32 static library. If the DOS/DPMI32 static library can be used in an IPAS && I can keep on using the Win memory functions, I would like to do so for the Win functions are more preferred for Win16 than are malloc and free. I am aware that I can use conditional defines to switch from malloc to GlobalAlloc. BUT, my line of inquiry is directed at eliciting a broader understanding of IPAS 3DS operation, and optimal methods. SO AGAIN, can the GlobalAlloc/Free functions be used in IPAS and if not, then malloc is obvious. But if the Win functions can be used I would rather experiment with their use. But I'd rather forgo the experimentation if someone can tell me categorically that it won't work and is inoperable for IPAS usage.
