Well, I don't know what criteria Windows 98 uses to dump memory blocks
to the swap file, but it seems to me that the memory you are asking
cannot be swapped to disk.
Is even stranger because I'm 100% sure it reports an out of memory
problem without even trying to allocate it, since the swap file remains
at it's minimum.
In my personal experience, something that sometimes run and sometimes
don't in the same machine without any changes, is NOT A DLL or other
component problem ---> It's the programmer's fault.
I'd recommend you take a good look at your source code and the
documentation about the memory allocation functions, and present
yourself the challenge of making a new version with dynamic memory
allocation. :-)
I hope I'm not offending you. LDLite is such a nice program (that's why
I'm mad for not be able to run it) and I'm a C++ programmer myself and I
know things are not as easy as people think.
I understand your situation (really), but my experience is saying that's
a memory allocation problem due to the way you allocate the memory.
I know Visual C++ so if you need any help, please contact me. :-)
And sorry the English...
PS: By the way, when LDLite exits when starting it doesn't create a LOG
file.

| Oh, I forgot to say that I managed to make it run once in a while and even load a model, but I must exit EVERY application in the Windows 98. Somehow you proved that microsoft does not have a multitasking operative system - it can only run one (...) (26 years ago, 31-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
