MultiFinder: Application Memory Is Released at Quitting
Under MultiFinder or System 7, does the Memory Manager lock up memory allocated
to an already launched application (reserving any extra RAM in that allocation
for other calls to memory), or does the Memory Manager allow other programs to
reuse allocated memory?
The memory allocated to an application is reserved for that application
when it is running. But when the application is quit, the reserved memory goes
back into available memory for other applications to use.
