I have done some programming in VB and at first all I could
think of is that I've worked on some HUGE projects but there
was never any code to clear specific variables, such as we
in RBase land always do. I suppose I could look it up in
one of my VB books, but I don't remember where the variables
'go' when the module is complete. Leaving variables around
didn't seem to be a problem.
But I forgot that we always set objects '= nothing' when we
were done. So you're right, even in VB there is some cleanup
that needs to be done.
