SysUse Version 1.0
for Microsoft Windows
Copyright (C) 1992 Jonathan Reed
SysUse is a shareware program. You are welcome to try it
out free of charge. However, if you like it and decide to
keep it on your system, you are obligated to register your copy
by paying $5.95 U.S. to the author at the address given below.
Registration entitles you to legally use this and all future
releases of SysUse, notification of future releases, and
technical support.
SysUse is a performance monitor program that displays the current
utilization levels of all four of your computer's main resources:
CPU, memory, system (Windows) resources, and disk space. The
levels are displayed textually when the SysUse window is open,
and as gauges (in the above order) when the window is minimized.
SysUse is very efficient (especially when minimized) and takes
very little time away from your other applications.
SysUse was intended to be invoked from your win.ini file. Load
it first (i.e. before other applications) in order to get accurate
readings for the CPU and memory. This is because the total
available memory and CPU speed are determined when SysUse first
initializes. Also, give SysUse a minute or so to adjust to your
CPU's speed.
Two commands are available from SysUse's system menu: About
SysUse, and Options. About SysUse displays the usual program
and author info. Options displays a dialog box from which the
following program options may be set:
1. Recalibrate CPU - Causes the CPU speed to be
reinitialized. Select this if your CPU level appears
to be incorrect (e.g. is greater than 0 even though
nothing else is running.)
2. Compact Memory - Calls the GlobalCompact Windows
function to compact global memory. Select this if
Windows reports there is insufficient memory to run
an application even though there appears to be a lot.
It may be that the free memory is just not contiguous.
3. Drives - Selects the disk drive to be monitored.
Be careful when selecting floppy drives. They're
pretty slow!
4. Update - Selects the update period for the SysUse
window and icon. Usage levels may be recalculated
and displayed every 1, 2, or 3 seconds.
5. OK - Exits the Options dialog box.
Upon closing SysUse or exiting Windows, the above options and
the position of the SysUse window are saved to your win.ini file.
These settings are automatically used the next time SysUse is
invoked.
SysUse is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind,
either express or implied. No liability is assumed from any
damage or loss resulting from the use of this program. You are
free to copy and share SysUse with others, as long as the two
files SYSUSE10.EXE and SYSUSE10.TXT are distributed together
and not modified in any way.
Shareware distributors ARE permitted to include SysUse with
their distributions, but any fee charged by the distributor DOES
NOT cover the $5.95 registration fee that you the user owe to
author if you decide to keep and use SysUse.
To register your copy of SysUse, send a check or money order
for $5.95 U.S. to:
