Amnesia 1.2
(C) 1992 V.Gervasi - ICARUS
Amnesia is a program designed to perform a very simple task: to check,
double check, triple-check... check 8 times every single memory location
in your Amiga.
This can be useful if you notice that something in your Amiga is
behaving strangely, and suspect that the cause could be a defective RAM
chip.
Using Amnesia is really straigthforward: just type
Amnesia >result
in a CLI or Shell window, and wait a little. While Amnesia is working,
your Amiga will freeze: this is needed in order to avoid conflictin usages
of the memory area to test. At the end, the file "result" will contain a
detailed analisys of your memory.
Amnesia is a polite program: it will not stomp on memory that belongs to
some other task, so it is MUCH better to run it just after boot-time, when
little or no memory is already allocated.
A last word on distribution: Amnesia is a copyrighted program (NOT
public domain), but it is freely distributable provided that the
executable and the documentation are distributed together. Feel free to
switch to some other archiver if you like.
