Thanks for the advise, however, the problem is not memory, but cpu use, which is always near 100%. BTW, the program you suggeted has it own problems. My machines hang whenever i try to free memory!

I forgot to mention that this was Minicad V. 7.03.

This also happens with minicad 7! I have tried it on a Celeron 466 (64mb), a pentium 200mmx (64Mb) and a AMD k6-2 300 (64Mb) laptop, all running win98. In all cases, monitoring with Wintop.exe from Microsoft. Minicad 7 always has 98-99% CPU usage, even if you are doing nothing with it(this can keep up for hours), as if the program was running some kind of infinite loop! this happens as long as minicad is the active window. The program gets sluggish with time, and even dragging the mouse becomes a drag! This is unaceptable behavior from any program.
