Here is a link to a guide on the Linux Memory Manager but with the questions you have, I wish you all the luck in the world. If you don't have some formal background in computer science (i.e. OS design and/or at _least_ data structures then your in for an uphill battle -- that hill being Mount Everest of course... If you do have a degree in computer science, then it sounds like you got ripped off. http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/projects/vm/guide/pdf/understand.pdf BTW: There already exists programs that detect memory leaks. Valgrind is the first that comes to mind. -- Eric Gaumer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
