^^^^^^^^
In the sense used by this thread, Rational does not provide garbage
collection. The "garbage collection" provided by an R1000 is the same
as that provided by Unix or VMS. When a program/process/job stops
running then the space in the "swap area" is reclaimed. Internal to a
single program execution, this does not qualify as garbage collection.
