Scott,

	I had a quick look, but it looks like its just a turbo-charged
lint. It does all its checking at compile time. What purify does is
jump in during the link process and instrument your code. When you run
your app, it checks all memory references. It tells you if you are:

	accessing an uninitialized variable
	reading/writing outside bounds of the some variable
	leaking memory
	using the wrong delete ( delete or delete[] )
	
As well as a bunch of other stuff...


Thanks,

	Andy
