C++ Builder IDE >> purify

Hi,

I'm about to embark on some memory cleanup for an already deployed application. My preferred memory analysis tool is purify which (imho) is both intuitive and accurate. I have 2 questions;

1) the existing development team had problems in the past using purify with c++ builder and therefore reverted to another tool. Am I correct in thinking that borland c++ builder is not supported by purify? I know that's a little off topic but I just wanted to confirm it here as I will not persue IBM/Rational if I get a definitive from this group. If it's not possible to use purify (reliably) what memory analysis tools work best with borland?

2) In order to do stress testing, I intend to remove the GUI front from the application and instead build a console application that takes command line parameters. This will allow me to run tight loops of various pieces of the application and simulate multiple clients using threading and will thus allow me greater control over testing (i.e. I won't be dependent on user input, I can instead feed the console app a config file with my instructions inside). Is there any guides out there on what is necessary. I am coming from a build perspective here, not a logic (the logic is my responsibility). I just want to know what DLL's/flags/options I need to switch in the build env. to move from a GUI app to a console app. Maybe it's easier than I am imagining, though I'm not sure.

thanks much for your help.

I have a legitimate copy of Rational's Purify Plus for sale.  Comes

let me know.  If you go check out their website you will see it's not
