I wonder if that's entirely true... there are several system hacks for VFS-equipped systems that let programs be paged into memory part-by-part. If you were using one of those, I think its entirely possible that DmReleaseResource would tell the hack that a resource wasn't being used anymore, so it could free the memory it was using. That would be an immediate benefit of making this call. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
