Or should I do Ptermres(256, 0) to keep only the When you exit a program via Ptermres() everything you have malloc'ed stays resident even if you say Ptermres(0,0). If you want to keep your code resident, too, you'll have to reserve it via Ptermres(). It is legal to keep the start of your program resident and throw the rest away. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claus Brod, Am Felsenkeller 2, Things. Take.
