TPW memory leak under W95!

Hi,
Running Turbo Pascal for Windows v1.5 under W95, I've run into a memory
leak in the 'write' and 'writeln' functions - after some 80k calls to these
functions, the machine is out of memory and crashes.
A Borland product sales rep indicated that TPW 1.5 is not compatable with
W95 and that I would find a version of the Turbo Pascal for Windows
compiler that is compatable with W95 in the FTP Download area of their web
site. I searched to no avail.
I've seen references to the patch for the DE{*word*81} but nothing for the
compiler.
Can anyone help direct me to this or any other solution to this problem?

Many thanks,
Mark

Hi,

here's a WWW-Site where I found a Win95 patch for the WinCRT unit. I
confess I didn't try it out yet, for me everything worked fine without the
patch. But I rarely use the CRT-Window.

Hope this helps you
