3560.0. "Anyone heard of FREEMEM.EXE for DECwindows???" by MLCSSE::PICCICUTO (Thank you for Shopping DIGITAL) Wed Oct 31 1990 15:32

    I've blurred my vision hunting for the elusive exe file FREEMEM.EXE.
    I copied it once from some notes file, which one escapes me, and it was
    great because it freed up any un-used memory that was dedicated to
    finished jobs on my VS3100 workstation.
    
    After a disk problem I realized my backup didn't have it, I want it!
    
    Can anyone tell me of FREEMEM.EXE   OR does anyone have a nice easy
    program to free up those memory blocks.  It's not fun having to re-log
    into my workstation account to get back to 0.
    
    Help,
    
    Phil, geez my eyes are sore, Piccicuto

You can copy it from PSW::SYS$SYSTEM:FREEMEM.EXE, if you wish.  The sources are
in PSW::PSW$DUA2:[WINALSKI]FREEMEM.MAR.  The program was written by C.W. Hobbs.

    I've noted that running this with VMS 5.4 can cause systems to get
    worse, not better. Not scientific, just an observation.

    RE: .1 Thank you, thank you, I received a few replies via mail.
    My search is ended.

    awhile.
    
    Thanks all
