MemSnap version 1.0 (3/92)
--------------------------
Nothing new here, this is based upon a program called Memeter that
I often used under 1.3, but that program crashed under my ZKicked 2.0,
so I've written this to fill the gap. This only runs under 2.0.
It's use (apart from telling you free memory) is to indicate what
memory a program uses, and whether it frees all its memory.
It can be started from Workbench or CLI, and takes no arguments.
It opens up a window with three columns, showing chip, fast and total
memory.
Under "Current" is the current amount of free memory.
Under "Snapshot" is memory available at time of snapshot.
Under "Used" is memory used since snapshot, ie. snapshot - used.
To snapshot memory, click anywhere on the line containing the
column headings.
Quick example:
Start memsnap.
Open drawer containing clock and snapshot current memory.
Start Clock program.
... on my system it uses about 43K
Close down clock program.
See if "used" column is empty ( => nothing used since snapshot).
Other features:
* Iconifies with zoom gadget.
* Uses screen font as set in preferences (and so hopefully copes
with all fonts). Proportional fonts may or may not look right.
* Has a version string (wow!).
* It's small, FREE, and comes with it's C source.
This is my first attempt at OS2-friendly programming. Thanks to
author of the original memeter, WallyWare(!?).
