Hi,

I understand, that I have to lock my OWN code and data.
However, the wrapper function that I allocate via the below mentioned
functions are NOT MY code.
So my question was if those wrapper functions are locked by the API
calls themselves.
It's a problem for me to do that since (at least for
_go32_chain_protected_mode_interrupt_vector) I do not get the address of
the wrapper function returned and besides, I don't know its length.

But the other post from Eli Zaretskji clarified that the wrapper
function is locked by the APIs themselves, so there is nothing to worry.

Thanks for your help,

Lars
