[RESOLVED] GetMem() vs PutMem()

[penagate]

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the GetMem and PutMem runtime library functions. If GetMem is reading a value in memory and returning it to an out address, then surely it is moving memory anyway.

Private Declare Sub GetMem4 Lib "msvbvm60" ( _
    ByVal lpSrc As Long, _
    ByRef lpDest As Long _
)
 
Private Declare Sub PutMem4 Lib "msvbvm60" ( _
    ByVal lpAddress As Long, _
    ByVal dwData As Long _
)

I don't see the difference. So what is the point of PutMem?
