- Heap Alert 1.0 is (yet another) Windows 3.0 snooper. It informs
- you about GDI objects in use. I wrote HA as a debugging tool;
- my app was using up system resources every time I ran it,
- and I had no clue what was not being freed.
-
- You'll need vbrun100.dll (available on CICA), as HA is written
- in Visual Basic.
-
- HA tells you about USER, GDI, fonts, bitmaps, DCs, pens,
- brushes, regions, metafiles, and palettes.
-
- You can tell it to automatically update every four seconds
- or update only when you press "sample".
-
- Saved me hours; hope it does the same for you.
-
- I ran HA, then started/killed each of these apps to see what
- they left behind. Very interesting (scary):
-
- Object Vision 1.0: 3 pens
- Micrographix Draw 3.02: 1 brush
- PowerPoint: 4 bitmaps, 2 DCs, 3 brushes
- QuickC/Win: 1 palette
- CorelDraw 2.0: 1 bitmap
- ToolBook 1.5: 1 region
- WordPerfect/Win: 2 bitmaps
-
- Excel 3.0 and Word for Windows 1.1 were OK. If you try
- any other apps, send me mail to let me know how they fared!
