- Memory Alert is a program that tells you various things about memory
- usage under Windows 3.1. You need the commercial release of 3.1 to
- use MA. You will also need vbrun100.dll, the Visual Basic runtime.
-
- Version 1.1 includes sources.
-
- This version also shows you how much low memory (< 640K) you have
- available. Due to a bug in Windows (both 3.0 and 3.1) when you
- compile apps with the -Gt flag the data is loaded into low memory.
- Since every app needs a little of this memory, you can run out. The
- "system resources" mentioned in the about box of the program manager
- does not take into account this lower memory. If Windows says there
- is insufficient resources to run an app, but you have lots of free
- system resources, you are probably out of lower memory. This can be
- confirmed with MA.
