Does 12.1.0 patch fix memory leaks with PPC version of OS 10.5.2?

[Norman R. Nager, Ph.D.]

Some newsgroup threads in the last few months have reported "memory leak"
and "memory full" issues in Word 12.

Does 12.1.0 patch fix memory leaks with PPC version of OS 10.5.2?

Another memory-related question, please: How much memory should the launch
of Word 12.1.0 consume? (On my G5, launching Word 12.1.0 consumes about
126 mb on average.)

Respectfully, Norm

Hi Norm:

As far as we know, the "known" memory leaks are fixed.

Word launches in about 65 MB on an Intel, so 126 MB on a PPC sounds about
right. PPC code is roughly twice the size in memory as Intel code.

Cheers
