Recover memory

[Tony Landais]

By what should I finish my blitz basic program to recover the maximum of memory when quit.

I use a screen, a bitmap, a shape and a buffer.

[Severin]

the normal 'end' command should do it, or do it all manually first eg.

closescreen 0 (or free screen 0)
free bitmap 1
free shape 1
free buffer 1
end

if your using it from a script put

avail flush >nil:

after you program but it won't make much difference...

Alot of the blitz specific libs (that shipped with blitz) are as buggy as hell, so don't expect to always free all memory!

as I said before, avoid blitzmode and the blitz commands if possible!

and join the blitzlist!

Always been curious about this -- are there stored digests anywhere of past blitzlists?

[Severin]

yes :)

you can get them from aminet (dev/basic) or http://www.blitz-2000.co.uk
