Does anybody know how to wipe out parts of memory, or emptying memory, remove different runtime modules from memory; *without* reboot? I have seen a discussion on the question, but can't remember when or where. Thanxvance Michael. -- ================================================================================ uucp: uunet!sunic!mdd!mike email: mike@mdd.mdd.se voice: +46 8 7926390 fax: +46 8 7923300 Smail: M.

TSR29, the FREE Mark/Release software by Kim Kokkonen, provides the capability to place a Mark in memory before loading a Terminate & Stay Resident (TSR) piece of software. Afterwards, you can Release the TSR and free up the memory it occupied. TSR29 is EXCELLENT software. Perhaps it will meet the need you have. Available at fine archives on many continents. At Simtel [26.2.0.74], get PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL>TSRCOM29.ARC by anonymous ftp. Good luck. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bob Davis \\ INTERNET : sonny@trantor.harris-atd.com | _ _ | Harris Corporation, ESS \\ UUCP : ...!uunet!x102a!trantor!sonny |_| |_| | | Advanced Technology Dept.\\ AETHER : K4VNO |==============|_/\/\/\|_| PO Box 37, MS 3A/1912 \\ VOICE : (407) 727-5886 | I SPEAK ONLY | |_| |_| | Melbourne, FL 32902 \\ FAX : (407) 729-2537 | FOR MYSELF. |_________|

If you program in C, you could do a malloc() on a block and then set each byte in the block to 0.

What about 'calloc' instead of 'malloc' ? -- I just learned a new curse: "You #$@! son of SCROLLBAR!"
