- DESCRIPTION
-
- System File Table Monitor is a full screen, interactive monitor written
- in Turbo Pascal 6.0 that displays a list of filenames currently open,
- along with a summary of the access used to open the file, and the
- current sharing mode.
-
- Displayed on the lower status bar are the number of file tables found in
- DOS, the total number of handles allocated via FILES= statements, the
- number of files currently open, and the maximum number simultaneously
- opened since the program was started.
-
- A clock is displayed on the upper status bar, and if run on a machine
- with the Lantastic REDIR loaded, the machine name also appears on this
- status bar.
-
-
- COMPATIBILITY
-
- SFTM has been tested under Desqview 2.42, Windows 3.1, Lantastic 4.X,
- and DOS 5.0 on 286, 386 and 486 processors. It displays the additional
- file tables created by Quarterdeck's FILES.COM utility included with
- QEMM.
-
- It can be run in a 64K Desqview window, yet still monitor all files
- opened by every other application running under Desqview. Function
- under Windows 3.1 is similar.
-
-
- OPERATION
-
- There are no command line parameters. Simply run SFTM.EXE, or create a
- suitable DV or Windows PIF for it. It will detect the video mode, and
- adjust for monochrome or colour adapters. It will also determine the
- maximum number of displayable lines, and run in that mode, whether it is
- 25, 28, 43, 50 lines or higher.
-
- When using a normal 25 line screen, up to 88 files can be simultaneously
- displayed, along with their access codes. On a 50 line screen, up to
- 188 files can be simultaneously displayed.
-
- This utility can be invaluable in determining the access modes used by
- other software as an aid in troubleshooting system problems or for
- program debugging. It can also warn if FILE HANDLES are set dangerously
- low, or excessively high.
-
- Run on a Lantastic server, it is a useful alternative to ALONE. All
- files open can be seen at a glance, and if left running for an extended
- period, the statistic collected on simultaneous files opened is useful
- in determining the optimum number of file handles to allocate without
- wasting resources.
-
- The abbreviations used are as follows:
-
- Access Modes:
-
- RO - Read Only
- RW - Read/Write
- WO - Write Only
-
- Sharing Modes:
-
- CMP - Compatibility Mode
- EXC - Exclusive or Deny Read/Write
- DWR - Deny Write
- DRD - Deny Read
- DNO - Deny None
