(Like MVS does!)

Of course.  However, it is still desirable that a
program has no memory leaks, particularly if it
should be running for a long time.

Using the Get/SetMemoryManager API of the Virtual
Pascal RTL, it is possible to install your own
memory manager - simply provide a GetMem, FreeMem
and ReAllocMem routine and you're done.  At its
simplest, this can be used to detect memory leaks
by having your routines simply sum all
allocations and de-allocations...

For initialisation, it is of course possible to
add initialization and finalization code to all
units - and the source for the RTL is included as
well.

Take care,
