Fixing "Out of Memory" error 1

I'm getting an "out of memory" error when I'm running some of my programs as of late (Delphi 3 still if that matters). What I'm thinking is perhaps because I'm creating and destroying an object/class multiple times, which does that with several TStringLists in turn. I'm not seeing where I'm neglecting to clean up anything in my own code (of course I could be missing something). Is there a good way to fix this from a design standpoint or examples of how to handle things so this "out of memory" thing will never happen?

 
I remember retro-fixing a copy of FastMM3 (I think) for some reason a long time ago (the answer to your question is "No") which I could use. I'd like to be able to throw a lot of the fixes I've found and done into D3 on a more permanent level, but really don't have that kind of knowledge...

But I managed to rewrite all those processes, including the main class, so I could just work out of a single copy of the object and the messages ended up disappearing. I don't know how it'll react if I throw more data at it than I already have (runs right now are around 3 minutes on about 10000 datapoints, but could go higher), but I'll be sure to find out.

Thanks for reading!
