#PPage 4 problems
3 messages in this thread
Philip,
I seem to be having another problem with PPage, after printing to my
Dot Matrix printer, and quitting the program, PPage is not releasing all
of its memory. I have 3M in my machine, and before stating PPage, have
about 2.5M free. After printing and then quitting the program, it returns
about 1.5M, therefore 1M of Fast ram is going missing. This then requires
a reboot of the machine in order to re-aquire the missing memory. Any idea
what might be causing this, I have checked for the presence of temp files
on the ram disk, but there is nothing there. Any and all suggestions
gratefully received.
Thanks,

Robert,
Perhaps there are libraries that have been loaded into memory that have
yet to be flushed? There is a command floating around called FLUSH, you
issue the command in a Shell and it frees up some memory by "flushing" the
library routines from memory. Usually unfreed memory gets released the
next time a program calls for more memory. There is another command called
FRAG and it gives a list of your system's contiguous memory chunks.

Sometimes various libraries will still be available to the system and therefore
'open' as it were. Try typing avail flush at a shell promt. You will get back
some memory.
