- This is MemMometer V2.1
- Previous versions of MemMometer were
- V1.0 - Distributed to Peter Da Silva and Tom Rokicki, sent to Fred Fish
- but was evidently not put on a Fish Disk. Problems with this
- version of the program were that it used the Delay(Arrgh) function
- for timing, and that it had an unrestricted menu selection for
- Slow-Fast memory and Fast memory base that, with non-existent
- memory, would result in a crash without prior warning. Also, the
- codes for one, two, or three columns were separate, so it was
- issued as three independently compiled programs.
- V1.1 - Not Distributed. Delay() function replaced by VBLANK timer code
- that was earlier submitted to Usenet by Andy Finkel. (Although
- Andy is a member of the CBM Amiga programmer team, the use of
- his codes in MemMometer do not in any way constitute an approval
- of the program on his part, of course.)
- V2.0 - Not Distributed. A Menu item was added for setting MemMometer's
- running priority. A Requester was added to inform the user that
- Slow-Fast memory selections in Warps mode must be physically
- correct to avoid a system-fatal Guru 4 illegal instruction
- exception trap (or worse), see the documentation for details.
- V2.1 - Some changes to the 8 color workbench color table to improve the
- ability to recognize 0xffffffff checksums and to better conform
- with CBM Workbench colors, and some corrections to inaccuracies
- in the documentation. Because it was possible to reach the (ahem)
- forbidden processor read-toggle type addresses through selecting
- severely maligned Fast memory base values, a call to the requester
- was additionally inserted for the Fast memory base menu. The
- requester was also fixed to open with a link to the MemMometer
- window (titled "F") rather than to an underlying dummy window
- (titled "Mem Mometer"). While it renders the title a trifle
- obscure, it limits the resource request to one requester-sized
- window rather than two.

- Files included in this package with names like whatever_info are icons;
- they can be pressed into service wherever needed by substituting point
- for underbar in the file name.
