PatchAllocMem V1.0
==================
Copyright 1994 Simon Dick
Introduction
============
This program simply patches the AllocMem exec call when it is run and alters
the requested memory type so that any program which tries to allocate fast
ram on a chip ram only Amiga will end up getting chip ram instead.
I wrote this because I got a copy of Fractint for the Amiga and I found that
it needs fast ram to load, which is actually unnecessary. So I wrote this
program and it now runs fine on a chip ram only Amiga.
System Requirements
===================
All that PatchAllocMem needs is the patch.library.
Usage
=====
PatchAllocMem can be run from either the CLI or from Workbench. If you run
it once, you install the patch. If you run it again then you remove the
patch.
Distribution
============
PatchAllocMem is freely distributable, as long as both the program file and
all other related files are distributed unchanged.
