I'm writing a file & text search program which stores search results in
a structure which sometimes might be smaller, sometimes very huge. When the
program starts I allocate 2 MB of uncommitted memory and when search
proceeds I commit more memory using the same method as in the sample in my
earlier post. Before every search begins I decommit the memory, so I think
I'm using this function "right way".

Do you have any short examples of that?
