Iv'e been trying to move my windows application development from DOS, with
win3 sessions for testing, to a completely win3 (enhanced mode), but something
must be escaping me, because there are some problems ...

When you execute an application and then close it, windows has not
necessarily "forgotten" about the instance.  This manifests itself in that
the passed hPrevInstance may be non-zero even if that instance was closed.  
Because of this, if you recompile an application and try to run it, it won't
run.

Has any one else seen this?  I've tried compressing the heap with heapwalk,
and it didn't "forget".  Thanks.
