- MAPMEM
- ================================================================
-
- MAPMEM.COM is used to display the current DOS memory map. It shows the
- resident programs, how much memory they use, and what interrupt vectors
- each currently owns. MAPMEM also shows information about expanded
- memory when such a driver is installed. MAPMEM writes to the standard
- output - thus the output can be printed or stored to a file.
-
- Calling MAPMEM with a "V" command line parameter (i.e., MAPMEM /V) will
- show additional information about each memory block. MAPMEM will also
- accept V or -V as the command line switch for the "verbose" option.
- The "Files" column shows the number of file handles that each resident
- block has kept open. Each block of memory reported by DOS is listed
- individually in verbose mode. This is useful in debugging problems,
- either with the TSR package itself, or perhaps with the resident
- programs that you are using.
-
- MAPMEM shows MARKs and FMARKs so that you can look at them prior to a
- RELEASE. A MARK will show the owner name "MARK", and the mark name (if
- any) in the command line area. An FMARK will show "N/A" in the owner
- column (due to the minimal memory kept by an FMARK), and the name of
- the mark file in the command line area.
-
- Everything we know about DOS memory allocation is embodied in the
- source code for MAPMEM and RELEASE. We found this out by piecing
- together tips from friends and through many hours of snooping. Please
- don't call for an explanation.
