- Short: Memory defragmentizer/AllocP superset
- Author: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
- Uploader: thor@math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
- Version: 1.47
- Type: util/sys
- Requires: OS 3.0
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This is now a real¹ PoolMem release, 1.47. Someone uploaded
- a bogus 1.45 release with a trojan to the Aminet. Please replace any 1.45
- release by this 1.47. There never WAS an official 1.45 release.
-
- ¹) Hoping that nobody uploads now a trojan of the 1.47. You can always cross
- check releases of my software by looking at my home page, or downloading my
- software from there in first place. My web page is *much* safer:
-
- http://www.tu-berlin.de/~thor/thor/index.html
-
- In case you see a newer release on the Aminet and this release does not show
- up on my home page in a couple of days, you should get suspicious.

- Version History
-
- This is not the complete version history, check the PoolMem.guide for details.
- ______________________________________________________________________________
-
- 1.47:
-
- The PoolMem memory clear routine is now a bit more effective (slightly).
- Allocations with MEMF_REVERSE set will be no longer taken from the memory
- scratch list. Added a new option KEEPSORTED that implements a slightly
- different scratch management which *might* help to improve the garbage
- collection mechanism under certain circumstances.
-
- Note that there's now a bug-report form in case you encounter problems.
- ______________________________________________________________________________
-
- 1.46:
-
- Made sure that the PoolMem allocated memory headers are always in public
- memory. NOTE THAT THERE IS NO 1.45 RELEASE. SOMEONE WITH A STRANGE SENSE OF
- HUMOUR UPLOADED A TROJAN WITH A FAKED 1.45 RELEASE. DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY AS
- SOON AS YOU SEE IT AND REPLACE IT BY THIS 1.46.
- Updated ShowMem as well.
-
-
- 1.44:
-
- Fixed a minor problem in the allocation function that might have resulted
- in non-optimal memory layout on some boards and could have caused slow-downs.
-
-
- 1.43.1:
-
- Forgot to include the latest release of ShowMem. Oops! Thanks Raphael!
- Note that PoolMem *is not* compatible to MuGuardianAngel!
-
-
- 1.43:
-
- PoolMem does no longer try to pool non-MEMF_PUBLIC memory. This might be
- of importance if virtual memory is introduced.
-
-
- 1.42:
-
- Added the FREEMEMRESULT option to set a result code for FreeMem(). This can
- be used to work around bugs of various programs, check the guide for
- details.
-
- 1.41.3:
-
- Added the RexxSerDevFix archive to the distribution. This patches a bug in
- the rexxserdev.library. Check the guide for details.
-
- 1.41.2:
-
- Fixed the description of the pgs_PatchMem program, added Carl's EMail.
-
- 1.41.1:
-
- Added the pgs_patchmem experimental program. Might help to avoid Photogenics
- crashes, but don't use it permanently. Read the guide first before trying it.
- Thanks goes to Carl Drougge for writing this program, and for allowing me to
- redistribute it.
