Short: Temporarily disable faulty memory
BlockMem 1.0 - (C) Neall Verheyde / 1993 Pyxis Software
What it is
----------
Blockmem is a small utility which takes two memory addresses, and
allocates all of the memory between them, preventing the system (and
OS friendly programs) from using that area of memory.
Why???
------
If you have bad memory in your computer, and can't get it fixed
immediately, it's much better to simply block the memory off from the
OS, rather than hoping that a program won't try and grab it for itself
and cause the system to blow up.
