- Half-N-Half V.1 by C.Randall on Jan 1,1994.
-
- -Public domain "fakefast" utility-
-
- This program is in request to several messages on Usenet. Seems some
- 1200 owners want to fake FAST memory to run a lamer program or two. There
- are a multitude of programs to do this, but it seems they only leave 512k
- of CHIP behind. This is an attempt to temporarily solve this.
-
- This program simply requests a 1 meg chunk of memory. This will be
- FAST if present (if this is true, why run this program???). But more
- likely will be CHIP. Then the program will add this memory to the system
- as FAST+PUBLIC. This is done with AddMemList in the exec library. Note
- that this list has the flags "MEMF_PUBLIC | MEMF_FAST", a priority of "-1"
- and the name "FKE".
-
- This allocated memory CAN NOT be restored. Therefore, the only way to
- recover your CHIP memory is to REBOOT. Sorry, but it *is* a hack.
-
- IMPORTANT: This program will not reset the machine, will not survive a
- reset, and is only useful to operation system "semi"-friendly programs.
- This will not be a solution if an offending program "bangs" the hardware
- looking for FAST memory. If this is the case, the best (and maybe only)
- solution is to buy some FAST memory. Sorry, but blame the lamer coder.
-
- DISCLAIMER: This program is released as PUBLIC DOMAIN and as such I am
- not responsible for any harm done, either directly or indirectly. The code
- and or docs may or may not be included. This program can be sold by anyone
- and as such can be included anywhere on anything. I don't feel that any
- worthwhile time was used to make this, so I don't expect anything.
-
- This program is a HACK and should never be used unless all other
- posibilities have been exhausted!
