- MemWin and KMemWin are tools for displaying free memory in the frontmost
- application -- the first shows memory in bytes and the second shows it in
- kilobytes (hence the K).
-
- In both programs, the window always floats above all other programs and
- windows, but can be hidden or shown by typing Cmd-Escape. On the other
- hand, clicking in the Close Box will quit the program until the next
- restart.
-
- Both require the Text Services Manager of System 7.1 or later, so
- if you dont have System 7.1 you are out of luck. Both are implemented
- as System Extensions (actually background only programs), so place
- whichever one you like into the Extensions folder.
-
- Changes since 1.0:
- Added a field to the listing. The "Rsrv" field that reflects
- several types of memory: the stack, application globals, and
- embedded heaps. This field rounds out the accounting to match
- other memory display programs.
-
- Clarified the difference between the Show/Hide and Quit
- functions.
-
- Thanks to John Stein for the new icon design. I touched it up,
- but it was his idea and work.
-
- The software is free for posting, sharing, and putting on CD-ROMS. The
- source is available for implementing similar hacks if you are interested.
