I think, that the best way to defragment all memory, and make all memory
again available (in case of any memory leeks) is to... exit program & run it
again :)

But how to do it ?
It'll be hard for program to close, and then run it self again I think...

But maybe program that will in loop run main EXE program will be better ?
Like :

bool done=0;
while (!done) {
  swap*** // ???
  done = read_from_some_disk_file();
}

If my main program will want to re-init memory, program will just exit.
If I'll realy to quit program, then main program will write some information
to disk file, to tell caller-program to quit.

My questions :
>>>>>> Ther are so many spawn*** functions... Witch to call, how to call it,
when main program name is "main.exe" and arguments are "1st" and "2nd" ?
>>>>>> What do you think about my idea ?

Thanks,
Rafal
