I'm sure all of us lurkers appreciate the time you have taken on this problem. Without a good test case which reliably illustrates the symptom, RBTI is essentially helpless.
The problem may be related to data volume, large tables, perhaps linked with views, may stress the system where smaller data sets do not. I am told even Access works for small data sets and less that five users! Best wishes from west coast Washington USA.

I did stick my neck out and promised you a one table db with one commandfile to replicate the NTVDM error. 2. Beeing the Turkey I am I must confess I lost my neck! 3. I cant replicate in CONCOMP, further more after downloading a 4 months old DB with my original Commandfile I cant even replicate in my own database. In 4. By counting the number of gray hairs I recived from may to September 2003 I know the issue was there. 5. This mail is just to tell all who are suffering from the Issue, that I can now see why RBTI cant solve a problem being so elusive. 6. I still hope you continue hunting and clear it for 7.0 Dos.

Dennis; At last we have an example of a simple block of code that causes the memory leak! You are correct that the ZIP command is the culprit in this example. I am creating an example for our programmers, so if anyone knows of other marauding commands that cause the same leak, please let me know ASAP. While the development on 6.5++ is done, I can tell you that it will be fixed in version 7.0 for DOS. Thanks for the sample.
