>From bitter experience with W95 I am certain that Windows does not clean up
memory that has been left hanging by a Delphi App. To a large extent this
is due to the "hands-off" that windows adopts to allow spawned threads to
continue running after the spawning application has completed I believe.

IME Windows 9x and Windows 2000 do not free all resources when an
application exits - or at least not if a program crashes.
e.g. If I am debugging a program I am running and get into an endless loop
and go CTRL-F2 to quit the programming, after doing this a couple of times
my machine says "Nope had enough - no memory left - Please reboot me."
(Rough translation from Windowese) - even if I close Delphi and have nothing
left open, nothing else will run. No resources left.
>From this I can gather that either Delphi has issues with releasing it's
memory or Windows has an issue.

When I read the original question I read it was asking "When the application
closes is all allocated memory released?" Reading the answers, it appears
that what most people read it was "While and application is still running,
and an object is destroyed, are the objects owned/parented by this object
also destroyed?"
These are two totally different questions. I would hope that the answer
to the first is "yes" and would imagine that the answer to the second is
"sometimes - it depends on circumstances".
Please tell me if I am wrong.
Chrissy.
