Is there any programs around that will sweep through memory for unused, but
not "free" memory (memory for some reason or another should be on the free
list, but didn't make it there)?  Often after I run programs, I find that
the Workbench memory indicator shows less memory than when I started the
programs.  This does not happen all the time, even when using the same
program (perhaps I did something different inside the program).  Sometimes
this memory loss can be upwards of 70K-80K, but, since I have 3Meg of memory
on an B2000, I haven't been paying much attention to this "loss".  I was
hoping there was a program that might collect up blocks of memory that
other programs did not release properly.  Does such a thing exist?
