Pardon if this has been covered but we JUST started receiving this mailing list... I read recently that the program called "nuke" can recover resources after killing off tasks. The implication was that such things as allocated memory and whatever could be reclaimed. Does it REALLY do this? How? I thought essentially all track of allocated resources was "lost" to anything but the task in question (under 1.2). If so, how does this program find things to deallocate? (Note that I'm talking here about memory the PROGRAM allocates, not what the system allocates for the program...) Along a similar vein...I *REALLY* want a utility to kill off tasks and recover ALL resources. Assuming GOMF+NUKE *DON'T* do the above, will one of the N future versions of KickStart/AmigsDOS have the appropriate hooks to so do?
