Oops - Termomether is a monster...

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 sad

I've got a Jumbo version, with bigger digits, (that eats memory much
faster), If anyone is interested...
