SFTM 1.30
---------
Copyright (c) 1992-1993 by Craig R. Clark
DESCRIPTION
System File Table Monitor is a full screen, interactive monitor written
in Turbo Pascal 6.0 that displays a list of filenames currently open,
along with a summary of the access used to open the file, and the
current sharing mode.
Displayed on the lower status bar are the number of file tables found in
DOS, the total number of handles allocated via FILES= statements, the
number of files currently open, and the maximum number simultaneously
opened since the program was started.
A clock is displayed on the upper status bar, and if run on a machine
with the Lantastic REDIR loaded, the machine name also appears on this
status bar.
COMPATIBILITY
SFTM has been tested under Desqview 2.42, Windows 3.1, Lantastic 4.X,
and DOS 5.0 on 286, 386 and 486 processors. It displays the additional
file tables created by Quarterdeck's FILES.COM utility included with
QEMM.
It can be run in a 64K Desqview window, yet still monitor all files
opened by every other application running under Desqview. Function
under Windows 3.1 is similar.
OPERATION
There are no command line parameters. Simply run SFTM.EXE, or create a
suitable DV or Windows PIF for it. It will detect the video mode, and
adjust for monochrome or colour adapters. It will also determine the
maximum number of displayable lines, and run in that mode, whether it is
25, 28, 43, 50 lines or higher.
When using a normal 25 line screen, up to 88 files can be simultaneously
displayed, along with their access codes. On a 50 line screen, up to
188 files can be simultaneously displayed.
This utility can be invaluable in determining the access modes used by
other software as an aid in troubleshooting system problems or for
program debugging. It can also warn if FILE HANDLES are set dangerously
low, or excessively high.
Run on a Lantastic server, it is a useful alternative to ALONE. All
files open can be seen at a glance, and if left running for an extended
period, the statistic collected on simultaneous files opened is useful
in determining the optimum number of file handles to allocate without
wasting resources.
The abbreviations used are as follows:
Access Modes:
RO - Read Only
RW - Read/Write
WO - Write Only
Sharing Modes:
CMP - Compatibility Mode
EXC - Exclusive or Deny Read/Write
DWR - Deny Write
DRD - Deny Read
DNO - Deny None
