Category   :Pascal
Platform    :All
Product    :Turbo Pascal  1.0

Description:

The Local Heap is very small, and not used by TPW, and is occasionally used
by Windows functions (like edit controls).

The Global Heap is generally very big, and is where your pascal program's
"heap" is stored.  The GetMem, FreeMem, New, and Dispose procedures all 
operate on the Global Heap.
