- FuelGauge 0.06 (22-Feb-1993)
- ============================
-
-
- Introduction
- ============
-
- This is a little utility written by BjD (Ben J. Dooks) of DoggySoft, and
- is ©1993 BjD. The program displays a 'fuel' gauge on the iconbar with the
- free memory in digit form and a nice 'human freindly' pointer. The pointer
- will go red if the ammount of memory exceedes the ammount set by the user.
- The total memory will be read from the OS variable <FuelG$MaxMem> (which
- should be a number in text form) and if this is not found the maximum
- memory will be set to the maximum physical memory size (I.E 1Mb,2Mb,etc.)
-
- The maximum memory can be set at anytime by using the iconbar menu (with
- two options to set to <FuelG$MaxMem> or the current free memory) and clicking
- select on the iconbar will set maximum memory to the current wimp free slot,
- and adjust will set it to <FuelG$MaxMem>
-
- The Quit option on the menu will do a temporary (i.e. leave the module in
- place but quit the task) and selecting permanent will quit the task and kill
- the module.
-
- (NOTE : The module has an internal intergity check of itself and will fail
- to start if this fails, you have been warned.)
-
- Creating New Sprites
- ====================
-
- The sprite fuelgauge2 has to be an exact copy of fuelgauge as it is wiped
- and then fuelgauge copied into it every time the system is updated. The
- sprites for the numbers (sprites '0-9') can be any reasonable size, although
- large sprites will not fit well, and therefore numbers will be chopped off.
- The old sprite file should be kept (must be if the program will be
- re-distributed) and any problems with the sprite file will cause an error to
- be produced (with the option to quit) but occasionally the system cannot
- recover from an error and will crash. (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
