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!
