- It is important to remember that the output of -space only
- appears (as far as I can tell) when you are in main mode with the
- standard paradox menu showing (and running under the 4.0 User Interface).
-
- So, if you have an application running which is using its own menus and
- canvas on the workspace, you will not see the output of -space. Try exiting
- your application back to the main paradox menu, and you should see the
- details you want.
-
- Back in 3.5 I simply added a MESSAGE command to many of my modules and a global
- MEM_DEBUG variable which gave me similar output to -space of 4.0. If you
- need to track memory when your application is running, this is one way. In
- fact, in 4.0, you could dedicate a window to holding the memory status, and
- frequently updating it.
