FreeMemory version 3.09 (RISCOS 3.10 version)
---------------------------------------------
Here is yet another utility which displays the amount of free memory on
the icon bar!
It was written as none of the others I came across were to my liking. My
main trouble is that I begrudge every byte of memory and so I am not
prepared to give up a 32K wimpslot to a program that is meant to help me
manage memory.
I am also too mean to allow wasted NullReason codes so the task is only
called when something may have changed.

FreeMemory is a small Module task (2644 bytes) that displays a text icon
on the icon bar showing how much applications memory is free.
The font and font size of this icon can be set using the FreeMemory$Options
variable :
*set FreeMemory$Options fontid [size [height]]
For example :
*set FreeMemory$Options Trinity.Medium 14
If there is no variable, or it is wrongly set or the font is unavailable
then the system font will be used. There is NO error report in these cases.
The utility will only notice that this variable has changed on a mode
change (eg after F12).
DesktopSave is recognised but assumes that the Modules$Path is set to the
directory where extra modules are kept as this is the way I use my system.

FreeMemory version 2.11
-----------------------
This is an older version (2632 bytes) that runs on RISC OS 2 and 3.
