TimeOut:
If you like this, use it, and can afford it, send me money,
a letter, or drop me email!
This is a Tabby event compatible program that does NOTHING!
Really, it clears out memory and 'waits' for a period of time
that you define.
I put this together for a friend that was having memory problems
with a 4 meg. Mac, System 7, Tabby and his BBS. The problem was
that some of the Tabby programs (the arcmail programs in his case)
were not clearing them selfs out of memory and there could eventually
be 2, 3 or possibly more programs in memory at one time. This
condition would cause a Heap error or cause the Tabby or BBS
program to drop to the finder because of the memory condition.
My friend tried changing memory assignments, using FragFighter,
and other tricks to no avail.
Simply add this program to your Tabby event strings after any
program that you are having memory trouble with.
When you get this program the delay time is set for 30 seconds.
You can change this value with ResEdit by changing the number
contained in string #2500. Any number above 1 is acceptable.
TimeOut will exit itself from memory quickly when it launches
the next event program.
TimeOut will run great under System 6 as well if you need it.
Rebuild your desktop if you don't see the real icon for any of
my utilities. (seems like you have to do this often with new
icons and System 7)
(TabbyNet will choke if your event lists get too long, so you might want
to abbreviate TimeOut to TO -- remember to change the application name
if you do!)
That is all. Engage!
