(Dutch for "earth") A tool to check memoryuse for C++ programs, written by Steve Reiss (who names his programs after livingsystems).Aard tracks the state of each byte of memory in the heap andthe stack. The state can be one of Undefined,Uninitialised, Free or Set. The program can detect invalidtransitions (i.e. attempting to set or use undefined or freestorage or attempting to access uninitialised storage).In addition, the program keeps track of heap use throughmalloc and free and at the end of the run reports memoryblocks that were not freed and that are not accessible(i.e. memory leaks).The tools works using a spliced-in shared library onSPARCs running C++ 3.0.1 under SunOS 4.X.

Proto Oncogene Proteins c erbB 2
- cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase that is found to be overexpressed in significant number adenocarcinomas. It has extensive homology can heterodimerize EGF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR), 3 receptor (RECEPTOR, 3) and the 4 receptor. Activation of erbB-2 receptor occurs during heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB family members. EC 2.7.11.-.
