Thanks for the reply. Actually I meant "physical RAM", not all virtual
memory. Maybe I expressed the situation not exactly - my program doesn't
have any reported by CG memory leaks or "poor handling of limit conditions"
and runs perfectly being not minimized to taskbar irrespectively of current
system load.
When I also tested how it works being minimized and launched a lot of "heavy
artillery" - say, several instances of Corel Photo Paint each tuned to
reserve around 300 Mbytes of memory (overall RAM amount on the testing
machine is 512 MBytes) , then after some time I couldn't awaken my program
by clicking on it's icon in windows taskbar - simply no reaction.
The only thing I've noticed was the amount of memory reserved by my program
as it is shown in task manager dropped from 15 megabytes to mere 600
kilobytes as it possibly should be when "swapping it out". I have no idea
why my program can not be "swapped in" and thus restored...
