For those of you that are running Wintel platform with AOLSERVER some or all of the free tools from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml might help. That site also has several other packages for other platforms. -phil

Correction: ns_info pools will probably return nothing if you've done the static build (as I believe you were doing in order to use purify) as the code won't call Tcl_GetMemoryInfo in that case either. However - that doesn't mean the pools aren't there. You'll know they are if you see calls to GetBlocks in any call traces. You may have to attach a debugger to find out for sure. If the globals firstCachePtr or sharedPtr are there that means tcl was built with the thread memory allocator. -E -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
