...I forgot to add. Almost EVERYTHING in the Windows 3.1 arena leaks
(haven't tested W95). I was detecting various leaks on about 50% of the
products I tested including MOST Microsoft products including Word, etc.
FWIW.

David, you're losing it. On a sidenote, a while back I experienced
significant memory leaks using IDL5.0 under Win 3.1 (don't ask). I
traced the problem directly to the use of Win32 and had to employ a
cludge by utilizing a 3rd party memory tracking problem which "restored"
leaked memory. I have not had a problem under Win95.

My goodness. Did the millennium arrive without me
