- FreeMemory version 3.09 (RISCOS 3.10 version)
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- Here is yet another utility which displays the amount of free memory on
- the icon bar!
-
- It was written as none of the others I came across were to my liking. My
- main trouble is that I begrudge every byte of memory and so I am not
- prepared to give up a 32K wimpslot to a program that is meant to help me
- manage memory.
-
- I am also too mean to allow wasted NullReason codes so the task is only
- called when something may have changed.
-

-
- FreeMemory is a small Module task (2644 bytes) that displays a text icon
- on the icon bar showing how much applications memory is free.
-
- The font and font size of this icon can be set using the FreeMemory$Options
- variable :
-
- *set FreeMemory$Options fontid [size [height]]
-
- For example :
-
- *set FreeMemory$Options Trinity.Medium 14
-
- If there is no variable, or it is wrongly set or the font is unavailable
- then the system font will be used. There is NO error report in these cases.
-
- The utility will only notice that this variable has changed on a mode
- change (eg after F12).
-
- DesktopSave is recognised but assumes that the Modules$Path is set to the
- directory where extra modules are kept as this is the way I use my system.
