Short: Memory Tester
/*
* System Memory test routine
* Version 4.1
* Copyrighted by Custom Services 1987 ***All rights reserved***
*
* This routine will run standard memory tests on your
* memory. The options are:
* -F Test External memory
* -S Test System Chip memory
* -L Long memory test enabled
* -V Verbose messages
* -D Debug messages
* -A all memory tests(except long)
* -B Sum Test only
* -E Values test only
*
* Chip memory will be tested first if requested then Fast memory
*
* Memory will be allocated using the standard system allocation
* routines. What ever memory is left when this program runs will
* be tested. A linked list of memory is made for both Chip and
* Fast memory.
*
* The Long test will run faster on very fragmented memory(small blocks)
* but will be more effective on unfragmented memory. This test will
* take a very long time( time is proportional to Memory squared)
*
* The Values tests on each block will be:
* a) zero/non zero byte
* b) alternating bit test
* c) do all locations in block
* The Long test is in addition to the Value test. For each value
* tested in the Values test:
* a) complement the value
* b) check each location to if bits changed
* c) check complemented location for bits changed
* d) do all locations in block
* The Sum test on each block will be:
* a) store sum of upper 16 bits of address plus lower 16 bits
* b) check contents after all are stored.
* c) do all locations in block
* The Sum test is good for dynamic memory failures.
* The Value and Long tests are good for Hard failures.

This program is shareware. You may freely distribute it. If you use
it, you may wish to register it. Registrations fee:$10.00.
The advantages of registration are:
-- Updates will be made available to you
-- Other Custom Services programs will be made available to you.
-- STU, the Amiga Diagnostic(normal list price of $34.95) will
be available for $20.00 plus s&h. STU is a better memory tester
(much faster, better tests) plus a disk drive test program!
