Dear CP fans,

When Blackbox is used to make a Windows program, does that program has sole
control of the heap. What happens when Blackbox is used to make a DLL to be
called from a C program? Are there two heaps in this case a Blackbox heap
and a C heap?

Will global variables in a Blackbox DLL persist until the DLL is unloaded?

If the module loader is linked into the DLL then the DLL can load new
modules at run time and metaprogramming and Dialog.Call work. What directory
structure does the loader assume to find the required modules and can this
be changed?

Sorry if some of the questions sound confused. I am confused!

Best regards

        Andrew
