We have found in testing that W2K does not properly release memory taken by R:Base during processing. Our solution is to periodically exit R:Base and go back in. We did run a command file that looked up the compspec, and did a ZIP RETURN &vComSpec /c EXIT periodically, but that has recently failed us. Another list member suggested ZIP RETURN /cmd, but I have not been able to test it yet. The user is exiting RBase frequently to ensure that the memory does not get eaten, and has not crashed.
