- MemCheck is a programm that watches the first 1000 byte of the memory
- for changes made by incorrect programms.
- It also checks the vectors coldCapture, coolCapture, warmCapture,
- kickMemPtr, kickTagPtr und kickCheckSum to show actions of viruses which
- modify these vectors.
- ATTENTION: MemCheck only sees changes that were made after the start of
- MemCheck, so it's possible that programms change these values
- before MemCheck is started.
-
- MemCheck was written to find out programms which write any values into
- this memory. Changing the values of this memory-area will often crash
- the system and it's not easy to find out the reason for these crashes.
- (try the function 'ClearPointer' from the intuition.library with a NULL-
- pointer as argument).
-
- If MemCheck find any changed byte in this memory, it shows the adress
- in memory and offers to restore the changed value.
-
- Because MemChecks reads the addresses 0-1000, debugging tools like
- 'enforcer' (makes a similar job) may be alarmed when doing this,
- therefore I suggest to use only one of these programms.
-
- If you use MemCheck from CLI/Shell, you can also enter the start-address
- of the memory as parameter, e.g. 'MemCheck 1000' will check the memory
- from address 1000 to 2000.
-
-
- MemCheck was tested on all Amiga Modells and all OS versions
- available.
-
- If you find errors on your machine: Mail and eMail address see above.
-
- This program is not shareware, but if you use it often, I think a little
- gift (US $7 or 10DM) to the programmer (me) would be a nice thing.

- Have fun
