Perhaps this is a old question, but as you can see in the name,
i am more of a Unixman then a XPman

I am trying to study on,and learn a bit more about XP, the xx-th OS,
i have to work with.

When i was looking at the memory management of 16Bits Apllications (XP),
i noticed that those applications are still able to wander quitte clumsily into the memory in a shared address space or shared memory heaps/system recources used by other 16-bits applications.
(Unless you manually force them not to do so)

For 32Bit Applications those problems are solved.

But how can i check if the application or process is 16 or 32Bit ?

I thought that i saw something like this info , flashing by,
while scanning in TDS,but i am not sure.

I have TDS-3 , PG, PE, APT,APM etc. on my system, but if it is
in there, i must have overlooked it.

Hi again, i remember only in windows the system info > software > loaded 16 bit modules / loaded 32 bits modules
but guess that is not what you're looking for.
