When you close the diskfont, or close a library, or close a device (and perhaps more resources as well), they are marked as EXPUNGABLE but they aren't unloaded. This improves system performance while not risking low-memory problems. The memory allocation routines, on failing an AllocMem() will go through and flush all EXPUNGABLE resources and then try again. This is what the program FLUSH does - it simply attempts to allocate an impossibly large memory hunk and that automatically flushes all flushable resources. ###################################################################### # | The street finds its own | Any opinions expressed # # Colin Fox | use for things. -W.Gibson | herin reflect only those # #Carpe Diem!+-----------------------------++ of my employer.
