Thread fastMM4, what is it ?

Actually this is an addendum to my previous post about the compiler not finding login.pas. This was incorrect.
The compiler can't find fastMM4. I looked everywhere for it. Finally as a test I commented it out in the uses clause and
the application compiled.

can someone explain what it is, where I get it from and what are the consequences of
compiling and running without it?

Thank you.

FastMM4 is a more advanced memory manager than Borland used to supply. Its built into Delphi as from D2006 (might have been D2005). What it does is manage memory faster and better than Borland did. The consequences of not using it are that you may experience some slowdown in an app and memory becoming fragmented more.

A very large amount of the time you'll notice no difference.

You should find it here fastmm.sourceforge.net
