Works 1.x: Does Not Free Memory After Closing Files

PSS ID Number: Q65660 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

1.00 1.05

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

In Works versions 1.00 and 1.05, if multiple files are opened and closed excessively without actually exiting from the Works program, available memory will eventually run out. This problem occurs because Works does not free memory properly when files are closed.

As a workaround to free all available memory, execute a DOS shell from within Works by selecting DOS from the File menu; then exit from the shell by typing “exit” at the prompt to return to Works.

This problem does not occur in Works version 2.00.
