- Program to test your memory for errors
- .description
- MemCheck is a program to test your memory for hardware
- errors - and to prevent them from affecting your other pro-
- grams. It tests each individual memory circuit by attempt-
- ing to switch all the bits in memory into the opposite state
- then reading them to find out whether they actually have
- taken the other value. Thus each bit is toggled and any
- hardware errors will be found. After testing the memory is
- restored to its original state.
-
- Because fiddling with the whole of the memory would tend to
- irritate other programs (to say the least!) all other
- programs are paused while it runs.
