[Any takers for >a better tool?] Well, the HEAPWALKER utility that comes with the MS Windows SDK will let you explore this in greater detail. FWIW, my understanding is that Systems Resources is equal to the 64K segment set aside for the global heap. I also understand that this relatively small limit will be greatly increased with Windows 3.1. I looked into a specific situation where system resources seemded to disappear when Shelling out to a TPW generated program from WFW. I found that the application destroyed itself, but left some heap memory unrecovered in the User segment. Also, I am running ATM, which will increase in size to accomodate additional fonts; some of this memory is not reclaimed when the application terminates.
