- VMEM DEMO
-
-
- This is the manual for the VMem Demo program.The demo illustrates most
- features of vmem.library which could be considered complicated.
-
-
- NOTES:
-
- * The demo won't run unless you install the VMem library.
- (See the Install drawer...)
-
- * Also,if your Amiga doesn't have FAST memory, you will need
- to run the Prefs program, and set FAST mem emulation to
- CHIP or PUBLIC - (see the prefs drawer for more details on
- this...)
-
- * The demo uses quite a lot of virtual memory,so make sure
- you have set the VMem directory in the Prefs program to
- a dir which can hold it all (you'll need about 600k - so
- use a hard disk,or if you don't have one, format a disk you
- don't need, and assign the VMem dir to that.
-
- * The less real memory your Amiga has,the slower this demo will
- run,but it should run on any system with Workbench 2 or
- higher (that's what VMem needs,not this program)
-
-
- The demo allocates 10 lines of text which hold 60000 bytes each (= 600k)
- and then prompts you for for text to put in each line. You can either
- enter 10 lines of text,or hit escape on the next prompt after you've had
- enough.
-
- Once you've done that, the demo will type all the text back to you. (It's
- not much, but it serves the purpose :-) ).
-
-
- If you experiment with changing the LowMemLimit in the Prefs program,
- you'll notice a lot more going on - there'll be a more disk access the
- higher the LowMemLimit is. (But don't set it so that your free memory
- minus the LowMemLimit is less than 70000 bytes (100k). VMem needs to keep
- at least one full string in memory at a time, plus the Workench needs
- emergency memory.
