May 2, 2001 To ALL R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5+) Users: I'm very pleased to inform you all that our Dedicated and Talented R:Team has FIXED the very old memory leak issue of printing R:BASE reports under Windows NT/2000. Our supportive and dedicated beta testers would be able to test this fix in upcoming beta (Build: 1.840J). Technical Notes: The memory leak seems to be related to the poor job Windows NT/2000 does in re-using memory space that has been freed. We did not find any memory that was allocated and not freed when we were done with it. The report problems seemed to be related to reports having to do sorts which any report with breakpoints will do. Reports with no sorting do not show the same behavior. Our solution was to allocate a sort buffer up front and use the same buffer until R:BASE exists rather than allocate and free each and every time the report is printed. My sincere THANKS to ALL Active Beta Testers who provided the details along with sample files. Stay tuned for more ... May you ALL enjoy TGRB2000 (ver 6.5++)! Very Best Regards, Razzak. ===================================-============================ R:BASE Developers's Conference: http://www.rbase.com/conference Official R:BASE List Server: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] RBTI Events/Training: http://www.rbase2000.com/events R:DCC Members: http://www.rbase2000.com/rdcc ================================================================ R:BASE, Oterro & R:Tango are registered trademarks of RBTI. ==================================-=============================
