I need to control the amount of physical memory that my application uses. In fact, I need to establish an upper limit for the RAM used by application - I want that my application does not occupy more memory than I allow (even at cost of perfomance).<br />
<br />
Are there some API/hacks/tricks to do that under Windows 95/98?<br />
And what is the API/tool (like PView for NT) which can show me the amount of RAM used by my application under Windows 95/98?<br />
<br />
I am aware of SetProcessWorkingSetSize, but it only works for NT (and even under NT I was not able to reach my goal: establishing a limit does not work, TaskManager shows that the application still uses more memory than I specified).<br />

Working set tuning - possible?

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
