We have a nice product migrated from Informix 4GL to NewEra. It's large so sometimes the system would run out of resources and crash. In NewEra 2.2 we wrote a function to check for limited resources before opening a window -- this used the C++ SystemHeapInfo in the toolhelp.lib. Now we have NewEra 3.1 and the product has been expanded. It runs fine on Windows NT, but Windows 95 still runs into the resources problem and the 32-bit C++ no longer has the toolhelp.lib Our people have been unable to find a substitute -- outside of counting windows and sending a warning. Any ideas would be appreciated.
