Not a lot to tell about these two programs...simply select the drive
you want to monitor from the list box (if you keep it full screen) or
select which of (1)drive space (2)memory (3) system resources (4)time,
or (5) date to be displayed when the window is iconized. Click either
the OK button or the minimize button to iconize.
There are two programs here: Gauge and OBGauge. Gauge is the result of
a weekend programming project to demonstrate TPW's capability for fast
development and compact .exe size, compared to ANY C++ compiler.
Unfortunately, the fellow who was to do the C++ version didn't bother,
so I have no numbers to report. Anyway, Gauge took me about 10 hours
to write, much of which was time spent looking up Windows API
functions.
OBGauge is the result of experimentation with OWL. I decided that
rewriting Gauge using OWL would be a worthwhile endeavor, since I
haven't seriously attempted to do much with it. It took several hours
to do the conversion (I didn't keep track), and I'm sure there are many
ways to improve it.
Gauge consists of two files: GAUGE.PAS and GAUGE.RES.
OBGauge consists of three files: OBGAUGE.PAS, UTILS.PAS, and
OBGAUGE.RES.
I welcome any feedback, positive or negative! Comments and/or
improvements to the code are also welcome!
