- -- FreeMemo --
- ----------------
-
- This application installs itself as a resident Wimp module and shows the
- currently available free application memory. It uses the iconbar priority
- system RISC OS 3 (+) provides. The palette utility has &20000000, FreeMemo
- uses &10000000 and normal application 0 (onwards).
- For the display a ROM outline font of is used (great stuff from Acorn!),
- hence it's only readable on high resolution monitors. But as serious user
- you certainly have got one anyway. Please ensure to have anti-aliasing
- enabled. Well, you don't have a Mac, PC or another toy computer.
-
- [ Of course the module doesn't waste the Wimp's polling time with null
- events, it wakes up and becomes active when memory moving messages fly
- around. ]
-
- The parameter "Off" in the line "Run !RunImage Off" of the !Run file will
- switch off DRAM refresh during video flyback. This works with all high
- resolution displays and speeds up the machine (a little bit.. :)
- As broadcast standard displays have longer flyback times, the extra DRAM
- refresh must be provided to retain DRAM integrity (ie no parameter, menu
- item "Refresh" ticked).
-
- The software is provided 'as is'. Using it is entirely at your own risk.
- As stated, it does only work with RISC OS 3 (+).
