i'm not quite sure i understand... i kinda konw what you are speaking of, 
though, because the HINTs and such (i don't know which since i just enabled 
them) tell me something about a plain "pointer being disposed makes no sense" or 
some such... when i put the dispose lines back, these reports were emitted by 
the compiler but heaptrc didn't bitch any more... removing the dispose lines to 
make the compiler made heaptrc whine and cry...

also, i've a problem with os2260full that i'll be changing the subject of this 
thread for or starting another thread... yes, i bit the bullet and wiped my old 
os2 2.4.0(?? or 2.4.2???) install and none of my previous projects compile... 
they complain about "Error: Can't call the assembler, error -1 switching to 
external assembling"... :/

i've manually removed all the .o and .ppu files that i may have inadvertently 
transferred when i scp'd everything over to my os2 box but no joy :/
