SWAP/Check an OS/2 Presentation Manager Swap File Monitor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright (c) Conlin Technologies 1993.
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SWAP/Check is a program which displays the current size of your
SWAPPER.DAT and the remaining space available on your SWAPFILE
drive using the WorkPlace Shell.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SWAP/Check is a 32-bit multi-thread application, and therefore
requires OS/2 Version 2.0 with the service pack or OS/2 2.1 (I have
only tested it with 2.0/SP and 2.1 beta but it should work fine with
2.1 general availability.) REXX must be installed as this application
is written in OS/2 REXX and Watcom VX-Rexx. It also requires the
Watcom runtime library "VROBJ.DLL" which is included in the ZIP file.
It is recommended that SWAP/Check be started from a program object
contained in a folder or on the desktop. To set this up:
1. Copy file VROBJ.DLL to a directory specified by your LIBPATH
statement in your CONFIG.SYS.
2. Copy a 'Program' object template from the OS/2 Templates folder to
your desired target folder.
3. On the new object, click mouse button 2, select the [->] button on
'Open', then select 'Settings'. This should open the settings
notebook.
4. On the 'Program' page enter the path and file name of SWAPCHCK.EXE,
and, for 'Working Directory', the directory in which you have placed
the initialization file SWAPCHCK.INI
5. On the 'General' page, change the title to whatever you wish (e.g.,
Swap Check), and un-check the 'Template' check box.
6. Close the settings notebook.
7. Open the file SWAPCHCK.INI in the OS/2 System Editor and change
the line "swapfile" to reflect the location of your SWAPPER.DAT file.
Change the line "update" to reflect the number of seconds between
updates. This value must be two characters long. (e.g. 05, 10 ,30)
Save this file and exit the System Editor.
8. Clicking on the SWAP/Check icon will start SWAP/Check.
