This fact implies to me that it cannot be a "plain" memory leak in the dll since then the memory would be really gone and could not be simply returned to the OS by doing a minimize on the vfp app itself - or could it? I am not a expert on this at all.

I think you are right. *If* it would be a leak in VFP I dont think it can be returned. But when it is the OS leaking, it sure can (W95, 98, NT4 did it all the time).

RELEASE would be far to simple I guess.


Btw, is iro from the Thunderbirds, or just a good African whine ?
