Really curious about this:

> If you have access to a program named 'Purify' ... learn how to use it.

Anyone know what this was or use it?

It's a memory debugger, in the same class of things as Valgrind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PurifyPlus

Fun fact: it was written by the cofounder and chairman of Netflix.

Quick google suggests it was https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~hasti/cs368/CppTutorial/NOTES/PUR...

It's kind of like Valgrind and was (is? I'm not sure.) used for finding memory leaks.
