Gee… PCLO is the most stable program _I_ know of…. <grin>
Yep, I've heard good stuff about PCLO too…. Drae and Draw plus check the
"state" of the Amiga (memory avalable and fragmentation) continiously. Not fun
but 1.0 required it. I've never seen a Draw Plus crash…
We just allocate everything we need, first. If we get it, then the only thing
that can crash the system is an external program. Which, I'm sure you agree,
doesn't count. –Ben–
Every action in Draw or Draw Plus does some allocation and/or deallocation. For
example a line is a linked list of poly-points pointed to by a graphics element
which itself sits on a linked list of other graphics elements and may be
sitting on a linked list of drawings, or even on a linked list of parts within
a drawing. Each poly-point, element, whatever is allocated on the fly. When
you do {_a copy/cut/paste 100's to 1000's of memory allocations and
deallocations are taking place. Why? Because as designer it's my LISP
background showaing thru…. Besides it makes UNDO easy.
