- Short: Memory Tester
-
- /*
- * System Memory test routine
- * Version 4.1
- * Copyrighted by Custom Services 1987 ***All rights reserved***
- *
- * This routine will run standard memory tests on your
- * memory. The options are:
- * -F Test External memory
- * -S Test System Chip memory
- * -L Long memory test enabled
- * -V Verbose messages
- * -D Debug messages
- * -A all memory tests(except long)
- * -B Sum Test only
- * -E Values test only
- *
- * Chip memory will be tested first if requested then Fast memory
- *
- * Memory will be allocated using the standard system allocation
- * routines. What ever memory is left when this program runs will
- * be tested. A linked list of memory is made for both Chip and
- * Fast memory.
- *
- * The Long test will run faster on very fragmented memory(small blocks)
- * but will be more effective on unfragmented memory. This test will
- * take a very long time( time is proportional to Memory squared)
- *
- * The Values tests on each block will be:
- * a) zero/non zero byte
- * b) alternating bit test
- * c) do all locations in block
- * The Long test is in addition to the Value test. For each value
- * tested in the Values test:
- * a) complement the value
- * b) check each location to if bits changed
- * c) check complemented location for bits changed
- * d) do all locations in block
- * The Sum test on each block will be:
- * a) store sum of upper 16 bits of address plus lower 16 bits
- * b) check contents after all are stored.
- * c) do all locations in block
- * The Sum test is good for dynamic memory failures.
- * The Value and Long tests are good for Hard failures.

- This program is shareware. You may freely distribute it. If you use
- it, you may wish to register it. Registrations fee:$10.00.
-
- The advantages of registration are:
-
- -- Updates will be made available to you
- -- Other Custom Services programs will be made available to you.
- -- STU, the Amiga Diagnostic(normal list price of $34.95) will
- be available for $20.00 plus s&h. STU is a better memory tester
- (much faster, better tests) plus a disk drive test program!
