Your Shareware CPU Monitor,File Viewer&Screen Saver!
• Have you ever wondered why your Mac slows up or bombs at seemingly random intervals?
• Have you ever wished you could get some indication of when the bombs were going to occur?
• Have you been using a Mac long enough to realize that there are applications that you can trust leaving up in the background, and others that you can not trust?
• Did you know that the Mac is an excellent "MULTI-TASKING" Computer? It just takes using software that has been designed to run stably in the background.
Status monitor can help you become more aware of your CPU's Health and well being. Use it in conjunction with the "about this Macintosh" RAM monitor (found under the Apple Desk Accessories menu selection) to determine how stable your Mac is running. Status requires that you run System 7.0 or above. Make an alias to the Status Application and place it in your System Folder's "Start Up Items" folder. You will be able to use Status "Free of Charge" in "Demo Mode" for 10 sessions. If you have not called "Bead Boutique" Software at 517-631-9462 to register the software by that time($19 Visa or Master Card Only accepted between 2&8pm Eastern time to keep down overhead costs), this app will lock itself into "AutoShut Down" Mode and you will only be able to register this copy. If you register the Software, you will get a Unique registration code that will disable the Manually closed "Please Register Now" dialog that comes up when the application is in "Demo Mode".
To use the File Viewing features of Status, simply select "Open" from the File Menu. You can select any Plain Picture or Text file and open it for viewing. You can even copy/paste sections of Text Files to the clipboard. The screen saver routine kicks in automatically 10 minutes after detecting no keyboard or mouse activity. You can change this value by selecting the Fade Controls Menu Selection. Enter the number of minutes (From 1 to 55) as the first value in the "AutoFad(min)" Field. The "Fade Level" Field determines to what extent the screens will "Fade to Black". The application has a number of fading modes that you can access by clicking on the buttons at the top of the Fade Controls Window.
Two small applications have been included with Status to show you the power of your computer to "Multi-Task". The first one is called "Cray". It is a 20k desk accessory app that grabs screen images from the right hand side of your main monitor and scrolls down those images in a small, magnifiable window. The second app is called Hyper Magnifier. It randomly jumps around the screen, displaying magnifiable images in a window. You can duplicate these apps and run them all at the same time, using Status to show you how these apps "Hand Back" null events when they are running in the background. The number below the bar graph in the Status Window indicates the number of "Free" null events the system had available during the one second of sampling taken for every 10 seconds of CPU operation. The higher the bar graph, the busier the CPU is doing background tasks.
