Hi,

Can someone please tell me what's the difference between the "moveable" and "discardable" resource options? Are there more samilar options that can be applied instead of these two?

Thanks,
Ziv

Under Win16 MOVEABLE will allow the resource to be moved in memory by the OS to compact memory, DISCARDABLE will allow the resource to be removed from memory when no longer needed.

Under Win32 these resource attributes are ignored.

Other 16-bit attributes that are ignored by Win32 are PRELOAD, LOADONCALL, FIXED, PURE and
IMPURE.
