Hello Neil!

Replying to a message of Neil Heller to Darin McBride:

 NH>> char * foo[] = "For whom the bell tolls";

 DM>> Who said it was heap memory?  The string "For whom the bell 
 DM>> tolls" is not on the heap, nor on the stack.  It is in read-
 DM>> only memory in the data segment of your executable,

 NH> Ahhh... I had forgotten that, thank you.

 NH> If there were more than one instance of the program running at a time, 
 NH> would the actual string need to be duplicated for each instance?

Depends on the OS, but generally, no, each instance would share the same
read-only memory as the rest of the instances.
