Introduction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This little program is written for usage in the startup-sequence. It
tests all free memory (can be interrupted with RMB), and reports any
faults found in mem. The program only tells you that there are some
error in your memory. Use MemTest (another of my programs) to get the
exact address of the error.
Inspired by the PC's little (noisy) memory "tester" that is inside
the BIOS. The PC doesn't check the memory, it just checks how much
memory is installed.
Requirements/Usage:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program requires v37 (2.0) or above of the operating system.
The program should only be started from CLI (startup-sequence),
preferrably as the first thing started after SetPatch and memory
adding commands. Once running, the program can be terminated using
RMB (if you don't have time to wait for its completion).
Bugs/Limitations:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The program only tests memory that is added to the system (by autoconfig
or by Exec/AddMem() ), and it can only handle 97.6M memory for now.
