- *Resource and memory monitor for Windows*

- DESCRIPTION
-
- Everyone has heard of memory. Each program requires a certain amount
- of memory to run. If the amount of memory required by programs exceeds
- the amount of memory available to the computer-system, something bad
- will happen. Windows also has 2 limited storage areas for GDI
- Resources and User Resources. All running windows programs share
- these areas. Things stored in them include menus, bitmaps,
- dialog-box controls, etc. Unlike Memory, the size of the areas
- available for these Resources CANNOT BE INCREASED. And Windows will
- begin to behave strangely when either of these areas begins to run
- low on free space.
-
- Sentinel is a tool for viewing Resources and Memory usage on a
- computer running Windows. This information may be displayed in
- various ways. Sentinel may be configured to set off audio and/or
- visual alarms when Resources or Memory reach prespecified levels.
