    Anybody know fate of GetMem8()/PutMem8 etc in Vista?

    I was wondering if anybody can confirm that these functions will not be broken in Vista.. I haven't seen any warnings about CopyMemory(), so I'm hoping the undocumented poke/peek stuff is still fair game?..

    They're part of the VB runtime which is included in Vista.

    RtlMoveMemory and RtlCopyMemory are part of the kernel driver development toolkit and as such I believe they would have to work.

    Thanks, I was just worried about some new undocumented memory protection.. I know the calls will be included.. CopyMemory is similar and soo common that they need to support that I figure.. Its just that the last thing I want to do is scour/update code at the last minute..

    If there was memory 'protection' to the extent that GetMem and PutMem didn't work, no program would work.
