- MemSum 2.0

- MEMORY SUMMARY
-
- Documentation
- User Instructions
-
- MemSum2.Com is a program designed to solve the problem of "How do I check
- how much memory (ram) I have left in my system without having to run CHKDSK
- and wait for it to check my disk drive too? " Memsum2 will report the amount
- of memory currently installed in your PC and the amount free for loading pgms.
- To invoke MemSum type in the following to Dos:
-
- MEMSUM /c /blink (where /c or /blink is optional)
-
- The /c option will allow MemSum to use color on a color display provided
- that the color adapter is currently in color mode. If you invoke MemSum while
- the color adapter is in B&W mode you will still get a B&W display from MemSum.
- Since I added windowing to MemSum I have found that the best way for me to use
- it is to install Ansi.Sys, set up a function key with "MEMSUM/C", (I use a
- color monitor) and whenever I want to look at my available memory I just press
- that function button. Of course this only works when Dos is waiting on input.
- I have plans for version 3.0 to be fully resident and you should be able to
- call it up while within another application. Since I do not have a monochrome
- card or adapter I would welcome test results from someone who does. MemSum's
- output is wider than 40 columns and therefore you should stick with 80 column
- mode.
- In addition, the /blink option will cause the "PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE"
- message to blink in white on black.
-
- History:
-
- MemSum originally appeared as MEMSUM.COM (version 1.0) later renamed to
- MEMSUM1.COM and supported only color monitors. After much comment from the
- B&W peanut gallery I added support for B&W and even defaulted it as such.
- That version was called MEMSUM11.COM Now version 2.0 is out. In version 2.0
- the non-blinking version is the default in concession to the Do Not Blink
- Anything peanut gallery.
-
- Version 3.0
- as I indicated earlier will be resident. All versions have been and shall be
- written in Turbo Pascal(*). Any other improvements/fixes/suggestions ?
-
- Support:
-
- All inquiries, should be directed to me via the UserBoard RBBS-PC in
- Charleston, WV, at (304) 344-8088. I hope you find this program to be of
- benefit to you and encourage you to support our Turbo Pascal User's Conference
- on the Charleston RBBS.
