- No warranties attached - use at your own risk...
-
- Updates to MemSnap 1.1:
-
- Now uses small window, where dragbar is whole window except snap gadget;
- Has two states, small and large; menu added to choose states and quit;
- Tooltype: SMALL=<what> where what is YES or NO, determines initial state.
- When memsnap is small, clicking in snapshot gadget makes it large.
-
- MemSnapII is really neat when started small with a small font, as a small
- memory monitor. The small font tracers_bold is included for use.
-
-
- MemSnap version 1.1 (2/93)
- --------------------------
-
- Updates to MemSnap 1.0:
-
- Now defaults to using topaz font. Font may be specified by tooltypes:
-
- FONTNAME=<name> e.g. FONTNAME=courier.font
- FONTHEIGHT=<size> e.g. FONTHEIGHT=15
-
- (Note: font will be scaled to size if given size doesn't exist).
- Can use tooltypes also to specify where window opens:
-
- LEFTEDGE=<num>
- TOPEDGE=<num>
-
- You can use Lens or something to determine preferred position of
- window to set in tooltypes.
-
- All these changes can only be used if starting from Workbench; so, if
- starting MemSnap at bootup, shove it into WBStartup.

-
- MemSnap version 1.0 (3/92)
- --------------------------
-
- Nothing new here, this is based upon a program called Memeter that
- I often used under 1.3, but that program crashed under my ZKicked 2.0,
- so I've written this to fill the gap. This only runs under 2.0.
-
- It's use (apart from telling you free memory) is to indicate what
- memory a program uses, and whether it frees all its memory.
-
- It can be started from Workbench or CLI, and takes no arguments.
- It opens up a window with three columns, showing chip, fast and total
- memory.
-
- Under "Current" is the current amount of free memory.
- Under "Snapshot" is memory available at time of snapshot.
- Under "Used" is memory used since snapshot, ie. snapshot - used.
-
- To snapshot memory, click anywhere on the line containing the
- column headings.
-
- Quick example:
- Start memsnap.
- Open drawer containing clock and snapshot current memory.
- Start Clock program.
- ... on my system it uses about 43K
- Close down clock program.
- See if "used" column is empty ( => nothing used since snapshot).
-
- Other features: (first two defunct in MemSnapII)
- * Iconifies with zoom gadget.
- * Uses screen font as set in preferences (and so hopefully copes
- with all fonts). Proportional fonts may or may not look right.
- * Has a version string (wow!).
- * It's small, FREE, and comes with it's C source.
-
- This is my first attempt at OS2-friendly programming. Thanks to
- author of the original memeter, WallyWare(!?).
