Hi all,

What I would like to be able to do is create a heap (HeapCreate) at a

specified

region of memory. Or, pursuade HeapAlloc() etc. to use a region of memory
allocated using VirtualAlloc().

Am I completely out of luck with this or is there some way of manipulating a
heap handle to point at the piece of memory I want to use?

I don't think there is (at least documented). You could write your own
allocation routines and fake it though.
