Possibly useful for those who have large amounts of dynamic data.

Structure String
    StructureUnion
        String.s
        Pointer.l
    EndStructureUnion
EndStructure

Procedure FreeString(*free_me.String)
!   MOV     edx, dword [esp+0]
!   MOV     edx, dword [edx]
    ; For PB<3.70
;!   CALL    PB_FreeString
!   CALL    SYS_FreeString
    *free_me\Pointer = 0
EndProcedure

heh. Again, post the specific error/problem and maybe someone can help you. The "Doesn't work" posts sometimes don't get much attention..

Good luck!
