    This discovery is truly disheartening. After many hours of usage, my computer began to dry up of resources. Typical Win98. So, considering my program uses loads of bitmaps, allocates memory and the whole bit, I assumed that there was a terrible memory leak in my program. For 3 days straight I've been tirelessly tracking every single "new" and "delete" operator, studying every GDI call, the whole works... Turns out, my program's perfect. There is a memory leak in Corel Wordperfect, which I start occasionally. Go figure.

I remember the first version of Wordperfect for Windows (pre Corel ownership I think) leaked memory so bad you could watch it go down straight after starting the program. This continued for several minutes until the PC crashed. It's good to hear the product has improved a little. :(( I can't figure why you'd start it occasionally, if you have winword you can write a macro to convert all you wordperfect docs in one hit. I did this a few years ago for a client and it worked quite nicely. Havn't seen wordperfect since. :-D :-D :-D Regards, Robert. sonork ID: 100.9940

              I tried WordDefect in the early '80s - rev 2-something, I think - and it sucked then. But it was the company 'standard' and they made me buy it. They couldn't make me use it, though!
