[comp.sys.atari.st] Warning - more troubles with "dcclk"

mj@myrias.UUCP (Michal Jaegermann) (11/20/87)

    Recently posted "dcclck31.prg"a from Mike Vederman - "Double
Click Software" - is still buggy.  It does not return memory to OS.
After every invocation it creates 300+ bytes of dead memory.  And, when
deinstalled, it does not return its memory at all.  To see it for
yourself - create a sizeable ram drive, in order not to wait too long -
and click a number of times on "dcclck31.prg".  Rather soon you will
see "out of memory" message, and your only way out will be to reboot.
    You should be ok, if you just install the clock and will not touch
it anymore.  But still it will gobble down a quite sizeable memory
chunk.
    This may be a bug in our belowed TOS (boo!!!) and maybe it
disappeared with a new version.  I cannot check.  A behaviour
described was observed on a plain old 1040 ST.
