10/18/91 - Beta version 1.00B released to public domain
10/24/91 - Fixed logic flaw in error detection in use of Proc
QueryFreeMemXMS - XMSerrors $A0 and $A1
are result codes, not real errors.
- Fixed minor bug in display where exactly one screenful
for Conventional and Upper memory. Rearranged
output - placed "NO EMS" and "NO XMS" messages on
last page of display.
- Assigned new minor version number - 1.01B
11/02/91 - Added display of standard extended memory amount
total/used/remaining and XMS extended memory amount
total/used/remaining/largestblock
- Fixed minor problem displaying XMS error returns
- Fixed minor problem checking for link of UMB to
Conventional and DOS = UMB in CONFIG.SYS
- Patched executable to work with more than 640k
- Assigned new minor version number - 1.02B
11/21/91 - Added summary display of location of command shell
- Added support for DR-DOS 6.0 (Signs on as DOS 3.31)
- Changed detection of location of DOS=High to location
of current disk buffer where possible; If running
under DOS 5.xx or DR-DOS DOS furnishes DOS location
- Changed algorithm to detect whether UMB's are linked
through pointers to Conventional memory (CNV link)
MS-DOS and DR-DOS and QuarterDeck patch top of
memory one paragraph lower than before installation,
with the resulting MCB having a 'Z' ID byte, and
pointing to MCB controlling UMB's (I think).
- Added support for 4DOS command shell
(May work for Norton Utility's NDOS?)
- Added detection of location of command shell
i.e. Conventional Memory, UMB, HMA, and
display of command shell name, where possible
- Added automatic detection of output redirection, and
force page breaking off if redirected to anything other
than standard output
- Assigned new version number - 1.50
12/17/91 - Added additional support for DR-DOS 6.0 and 4DOS 4.0
- Detects additional DR-DOS UMB owner segments
8 = DOS configuration
7 = Reserved from UMB pool for video, etc.
6 = Used by UMB Device Driver (not DOS)
- Detects and displays locality of DOS (Conventional or HMA)
and SHELL (Conventional or UMB)
- Detects and displays free XMS handles, XMS and UMB memory
as Total-Used-Available-Largest Available Block
- Detects and displays UMB usage as Reserved-HiLoaded-
System Loaded and Self-Loaded (Program loads itself high)
- Added automatic command line redirection detection, and
automatic shift to non-pause mode when redirected to
other than CON device
- Assigned new version number - 2.00
12/22/91 - Fixed bug in printing BCD strings - Added BCDtoStr Function
- Fixed bug in kilobyte size display - No "round down" on
size of exactly 1024 bytes
- Fixed error in display of unused XMS extended handles
- Fixed error in calculating size of blocks exactly 64k
- Assigned new version number - 2.01
5/30/92 - Fixed bug in length of screen - Get screen rows from 40:84
- Changed step to look for 1st UMB from 16 to 4096 bytes
- Assigned new version number - 2.02
6/28/92 - Fixed bug in length of screen - Get screen rows from 40:84
- Changed step to look for 1st UMB to 1024 bytes (was 16)
8/14/92 - Assigned new version number - 2.5
- Added display of header to top of each page
- Added page number to each header
- Added /L switch to allow printing of 57 line pages
- Added display of following:
1 - Interrupt Vector Table (Hard Coded)
2 - ROM BIOS Data Area (Hard Coded)
3 - DOS Data Area (Hard Coded)
4 - DOS device driver code area (native devices)
5 - DOS system data table area ("List of Lists")
6 - TSR command line where available
7 - Nature of Load for UMB TSR's
a) Loaded by LoadHigh/DOS/UMB manager "TSR-LoadHi"
b) Loaded itself high "TSR-AutoHi" (ONLY DR-DOS 6.0)
8 - Names of UMB device driver programs (ONLY DR-DOS 6.0)
9 - Status of UMB's Unused but reserved
by UMB Manager (DR-DOS 6.0 and MS-DOS where possible)
- Removed display of whether Conventional Memory
linked to UMB's - Insufficiently generic, too unreliable
- Changed all BASM cbw instructions to xor
- Fixed bug in EMS display where EMM386.SYS in operation
- Added Detection of Windows and Windows Enhanced/386
- Fixed bug in walking MCB chain in enhanced Windows
9/17/92 - Removed display of size of UMB's in kilobytes and added,
in its place, a display of the segment of the parent
(loader) of the process occupying that UMB
- Added support of Helix Software's Netroom Memory Manager
- Fixed bug in reporting of UMB's in certain UMB areas
placed in ROM space by QEMM's Stealth function
- New version Number, 2.6
11/13/92 - Added support for Qualitas' 386Max
