I had the same problem with BC5. Each time I compiled and linked something
BC loaded CAPDOS32 into memory and never unloaded it. After a while I had
several of those programs loaded and it was slowing my machine.
Solutions: I did not compile in the IDE, I just went to dos prompt and
used command line to compile and link my programms. THere are different
compilers in there. The one I used the most was BCC. Look in your bc5/bin
directory.
