Someone told me once that there was no bug-free program. So I did with my termomether: a couple of (found) bugs... They have been visible after putting the WinTermo to work. The first one is a silly one, the bitmap for the "8" is wrong (it has a nice "0" inside). The second one is much worse: After a couple of hours giving a nice Temp reading, the Win95 system where it is running stopped showing the bitmaps... After a while looking at the system, I saw a 97% resources used... Then I run the program under my NT workstation (patched accordingly, since NT doesn't like the straigth port access the program does... ). With the NT resource monitor, I've been watching how the program is gracefully eating all the memory at a steady rate... Does anybody (David, Pete,...) know how to free the memory?.... Until then, is safer to use a standard mercury one I've got a Jumbo version, with bigger digits, (that eats memory much faster), If anyone is interested... JesusC-(is-very-hot-here)
