- MemSnap version 1.0 (3/92)
- --------------------------
-
- Nothing new here, this is based upon a program called Memeter that
- I often used under 1.3, but that program crashed under my ZKicked 2.0,
- so I've written this to fill the gap. This only runs under 2.0.
-
- It's use (apart from telling you free memory) is to indicate what
- memory a program uses, and whether it frees all its memory.
-
- It can be started from Workbench or CLI, and takes no arguments.
- It opens up a window with three columns, showing chip, fast and total
- memory.
-
- Under "Current" is the current amount of free memory.
- Under "Snapshot" is memory available at time of snapshot.
- Under "Used" is memory used since snapshot, ie. snapshot - used.
-
- To snapshot memory, click anywhere on the line containing the
- column headings.
-
- Quick example:
- Start memsnap.
- Open drawer containing clock and snapshot current memory.
- Start Clock program.
- ... on my system it uses about 43K
- Close down clock program.
- See if "used" column is empty ( => nothing used since snapshot).
-
- Other features:
- * Iconifies with zoom gadget.
- * Uses screen font as set in preferences (and so hopefully copes
- with all fonts). Proportional fonts may or may not look right.
- * Has a version string (wow!).
- * It's small, FREE, and comes with it's C source.
-
- This is my first attempt at OS2-friendly programming. Thanks to
- author of the original memeter, WallyWare(!?).
