Hi there, two questions for you gurus:

1) I have heard that it is possible to use the ILink, the Microsoft
incremental compiler to compile Windows program.  However, neither
the 5.1 or the 6.0 manuals seem to have any info on this.  Anyone
tried it, and is it worth the effort?  I had always thought that
incremental linking was only available with QuickC.

2) Is there a way (ie. function, winapp, etc.) to find out whether
a winapp is not cleaning up properly after itself (ie., disposing of
bitmaps, freeing handles, etc.)?  I develop in enhanced mode with a DOS
session (editor) in the background.  I can switch back and forth OK,
but sometimes Windows will say that there is not enough memory to
switch to my editor, and to close some applications and try again.
Even when I close everything except my shell I get the same message.
Usually this happens if I've been messing my winapp for a while, and
may not have tidied everything up properly.  Probably one of the SDK
apps might do the trick.  Any one got opinions?
