I am pleased to tell you that System 7 has practically no system heap troubles. I therefore do not recommend the use of HeapTool with System 7. Spend that $13.50 on another piece of shareware , or buy disks for an extra backup of your hard disk -- you do back up your hard disk, right?
If your hardware and software is capable, you may wish to enable System 7’s “virtual memory” feature. It can provide additional protection against system heap troubles. (It lets the system heap expand without running into the application heaps, since it provides a great deal of memory.)
Please feel free to pass this information along to other System 7 users. For System 6 users, HeapTool 1.4 is the current release.
-----------------------
If you use HeapTool with System 7 and believe it does make a difference, you are welcome to continue using it with or without paying the shareware fee. (For some rare circumstances it can make a difference, but it was written primarily as a System 6 utility.)
If you paid for HeapTool and never used it with System 6, you may apply its purchase price to any other shareware I write. Note that the "Other Shareware" folder on this disk contains software written by other authors.
