Again, Dick, I was the person who started the "memory leak" thread.
Specifically, the problem is NOT program speed. On both occasions,
systems were PIIIs with at least 512Mb ram and >30GB of disk space.
Both were Windows 98. After 10 to 12 hours of operation, if you did
not change anything in the application, everything seems to work.
However, If I requested Writelog to open a new window, I would get
either an "Out of memory" error, or a "cannot create Window" error.
After which, the fonts would change to the system default font, and
Writelog would continue to function. If I exit Writelog and restart,
all would return to normal.
So, again, not a show stopper, but something to think about. In my
experience, this type of resource comsumption is usually caused by
a leak. It could be in Writelog, MFC, ATL, who knows. But it is
certainly not a big issue, just an inconvenience.
