The question is: how do free up a segment with only class methods in it? One might expect 'UnloadSeg(CObject::Dispose);' to work, but it gives a compile error. There ought to be a way of taking the address of a method, but I can't find it (yes, I've looked in the manual). BTW, I could declare a dummy function in each segment and use that function for the call to UnloadSeg(), but it simply isn't elegant.

When you say CObject::Dispose, you are referring to something accessed through the method table.You could probably get the address by mucking with the method table some, but this is liable to break if they change the format. I'm currently using the dummy function method. -- Dan Podwall University of Houston COSC10S4@jane.uh.edu
