Does ISTAT('MEMORY') work under Win2K/NT Kernel? I've tried to write code
using it and it has never returned a number other than 0.
Even so, that is definately a sloppy fix for a *major* memory leak in the
application. Considering the 16-bit OS is more dead today than yesterday, I
think some time should be spent by RBTI to figure this problem out. If it
is being worked on, I'd really enjoy to hear something about these efforts,
rather than hearing how Microsoft is to blame because they're going 32-bit.
