[Lazarus] Christmas present for Windows lazarus developers : Memproof instaler 2.2MB

[Peter E Williams]

Hi Joshua and all,

Just click on [ Regular Download ] and your download will proceed. The [
Premium Download ] is for those folk who are downloading iso images and need
very fast connections.

As it is a 2.2MB .zip file it will only take less than 1 minute to download.
Then unzip it with your favourite unarchiver and run the .exe installer.

Any more questions?

Please note the previous reply that it will only work with Delphi 6 and
below and not with current Lazarus as Memproof needs TD32 Debug info which
Lazarus IIRC does NOT provide. I am a little ignorant of all the debugging
terminology for Lazarus versus Delphi.

PEW
