Why it locks up is not the issue, It's aprogram running on windows, it WILL
lock up for one reason or another.

on Win95 that might work but under NT if you do an End Process (as opposed
to End Task) the OS imediatly kills the application and frees its
esources( in theory it frees them, but the is windows) The program won't
know what hit it.
