- FreeMem v1.00
- -------------
-
- The memory taken by the system seems
- to increase with time as programs
- and documents are opened and closed.
-
- In fact, there is no memory leaks but
- EPOC32 caches procedures and does not deallocate
- all the memory when an application is closed,
- in case it is opened again soon.
- It saves time and reduces the fragmentation.
-
- However the memory gets fragmented with time
- and it reduces performances (large memory
- segments are spread over serveral cells).
-
- FreeMen defragments the memory and
- reclaims all the unused segments.
-
-
- Installation:
- -------------
- 1 - If you want to install FreeMem as a regular application
- with an icon in the Extras-bar, copy FreeMem.aif and
- FreeMem.app in \System\Apps\FreeMem.
- 2 - If you prefer to install FreeMem as a macro or a small
- standalone program, copy FreeMem.opo wherever you
- want (e.g. where you store all your macros).
- 3 - In both cases, if you don't already have it, install
- SystInfo.sis as you do with any other sis file : double-click
- on it either on the PC (if PsiWin 2.1 is installed) or
- on the Series 5 (if there is an Add/Remove icon in the
- configuration panel).
-
-
- Usage:
- ------
- You can use FreeMem as a standalone application
- (just start it from System or the Extras-bar) or
- run it from Macro5 as a program or as a macro.
- FreeMen cleans up the memory and displays a report
- with the memory used before and after the clean up
- and the memory freed.
-
-
- Planned enhancements :
- ----------------------
- None.
-
-
- Known issues :
- --------------
- FreeMem uses the temporary UID &FEDCBA98.
