{
Char *string;
UInt16 size;
MemHandle memHandle;
memHandle = DmGet1Resource('tStr', id);
size = MemHandleSize(memHandle);
string = (Char *)MemPtrNew(size+1);
StrCopy(string, MemHandleLock(memHandle));
MemHandleUnlock(memHandle);
string[size] = '\0';
DmReleaseResource(memHandle);
...
MemPtrFree(string);
}
maybe that can rectify it :P
