- FreeGEM by kellis 1998.
-
- This program can run as PRG or ACC, doesn't make a difference.
- 3 RSC files are included: freegem.rsc (english, default one)
- freegemd.rsc (german)
- freegemf.rsc (french)
- A decent AES version is needed to run this program.
-
- Now, what does it do?
- FreeGEM allows you to monitor your RAM useage in real time
- with a neat interface. It supports STRAM and TTRAM.
- The indicators (leds) represent a percentage.
- So: XX........ (with X being lit and . NOT lit) would mean
- 20% of the total RAM is used.
- FreeGEM will refresh every 50ms.
-
- If you click on the Info icon (on the right, blue icon), the
- window will get a little bigger showing some extra indications.
-
- Such as: red box (ttram left) (will only appear if you have TTRAM)
- blue box(stram left)
- % box, (real % used)
- The RAM left is actually the largest free block (STram or TTram).
-
- If you click on any of the LEDS, the window will lose its widgets.
- Clicking again here, will make them appear again. the use is that
- You place the window wherever you want on yoru desktop, then remove
- the widgets. So it looks neater and takes less space.
-
- If you have a decent AES, You can win-shade the window by clicking
- on the FULLER button. The window will then disappear, only the
- widgets will stay, and NO checking is done. So requires less CPU
- time. Good for idling.
-
- If you RIGHT mouse click on the INFO icon, you have the credits.
- If you press CTRL q, or ENTER/RETURN key, the window will be closed
- (if acc), or FREEGEM will just quit.
-
- FreeGEM will look different depending your resolution (colors)
- Just try it with mono, 16 col and 256 col. (will be different).
-
- Bug reports: well 1 configuration with a TT, TTRAM and a special
- graphic card, FREEGEM didn't see the TTRAM.
- Nova graphic cards are well supported. Very strange bug. I am
- waiting for more info all about that.
-
- FreeGEM doesn't need a multitasking OS. However it does need a
- decent AES version (aes 4.1 and up).
- On my falcon SINGLETASKING but with aes 4.1 loaded. it works perfect.
-
- The real use of this program is when you use a multitasking OS
- such as MiNT. (or magic). You can easily monitor what's going on.
-
- FreeGEM is freeware, and doesn't guarantee anything to your data,
- hardware etc. You take the risk.
