- Comments
-
- Since this is my first Windows program I would very much enjoy
- receiving your comments (good or bad). I hope you have as much
- fun using this program as I did in making it.

- History
-
- Version 1.0
- Windows Queue loading application for Microsoft Windows was
- originally called SYSQUEUE. It was written by Barry Press
- and adapted from FREEMEM.C written by Charles Petzold. Also,
- the graphical display was added by Alec Saunders.
-
- Version 2.0
- Renamed to SYSGRAPH to allow coexistence with SYSQUEUE, this
- version by Bill Crow of Hewlett-Packard Company adds new
- features such as Rescaling and an About dialog box.
-
- Version 3.0
- This version by Jim Hasselbeck, added selectable update rates,
- relative loading vs freetime selection in the About box, and
- was modified for Windows 3.0.
-
- Version 4.0
- This version is a complete re-write of the program
- using Borland C++.New features include:
- 1) 3D button like frame.
- 2) Color fill under the graph which changes depending
- on the graph mode.
- 3) Keep on top.
- 4) Keep on caption bar on active window.
- 5) Setup saving in WIN.INI.
-
-
- Program Options
-
- Rescale:
- A one-time rescaling of the graph is performed, based on
- the data points currently displayed.
-
- Automatic Rescale
- This option automatically scales the graph every time it
- adds a point to the graph.
-
- Keep on top
- This option keeps System Graph on the top of the windows.
- In other words, in this mode System Graph is always visible
- and does not get overlapped by any other window.
-
- Position on captions
- This option positions System Graph in the caption bar of
- the active window. This is better then "keep on top" because
- it never blocks anything.
-
- Update time
- This option controls how often the program adds a point
- to the graph.
-
- Graph type
- This option controls how the graph should be displayed.
- The color of the graph changes based on the type of graph
- displayed. When "Queue Graph" is selected a dip in the
- graph means the load on the system went up. When "Inverted
- Queue Graph" is selected a rise in the graph means that the
- load on the system went up.
-
- Positioning
- When run for the first time System Graph appears minimized.
- It acts as any other Windows program except when it is maximized.
- When it is maximized, it has no boarders and no caption bar.
- In this mode the menu can be seen by clicking once with the
- left mouse button anywhere on the window. To change the size
- and position of the window click once with the right mouse
- button anywhere in the window and voila, it has sizing boarders!
- Now it can be sized like any other window. To move it, all you
- have to do, is press down with the left mouse button and drag
- it. Just pretend the whole window acts like the caption bar!
- When you are done positioning the window, click again with the
- left mouse button, and the window is back to the way it was
- but in a different position. To save this new position select
- "Setup..." and choose "Save Configuration."
