I gave up on memory checks. On my Mac, I have two system monitors, and
they give me different results if run at the same time. One tells me my
OS is using 34 Mb, another - 58 Mb. Pretty significant, huh? My
Microsoft Word, just idle, sometimes increases memory use for no
apparent reason, likely reflecting the predatory nature of the company itself.
For IDL, in Windows, I am not even concerned with that, I never ran out
of memory yet, despite my humble 64 Mb of RAM. On a Mac I do (despite
its 256 Mb of RAM), since it will not reallocate RAM. Oh well. Its a Mac
thing, no NT user can understand :-) I guess Apple guys think it
empowers the user, when he is to keep track of how much memory his
applications use :-(

Cheers,
Pavel
