GDI Resource Saver v0.1.0.1
Copyright (C) Karl Chen 2001

One of Windows' limited resources is the GDI (Graphic Design Interface) object resource. Most programs release the GDI handles they request once they are done with them, and usually you don't run out of them so there are no problems.

However, some programs do NOT release the resources (bad programming). Continuously running these particular programs will continuously drain GDI resources until you close the program completely (all windows of it). When you run out of GDI resources, Windows will basically suck it, because most programs understandably don't check for GDI resource errors (which only happen when you run out).

This program will 'reserve' some GDI resources so that if/when you DO run out, it will release them back so you can go close whatever program is causing the trouble. Otherwise, even the 'out of resources' error message boxes can't be displayed properly.
