Short: Update! V1.4c - Small prog to observe memory usage of other progs
Author: Daniel `ThunderPig` Raedel
Uploader: p5dara@rz.uni-jena.de
Type: dev/misc
REQUIRES: OS V37+
USAGE: Run WatchMem SIZE/N,DELAY/N, where SIZE is the amount of bytes that
shall be stolen every time you click on the `Steal`-Gadget (using
this feature, you can test your program's reactions when it has to
run under `low memory`). Clicking on `Release` will release the whole
stolen memory. The SIZE may also be modified with the integer gadget
in the window. DELAY is the number of 1/50 seconds the program waits
until it refreshes the display and asks for messages.
Default: SIZE=25000, DELAY=5.
Starting from Workbench:
There are four Tooltypes the program looks for:
SIZE - see above
DELAY - ...
TOP - the top corner of the window
LEFT - the left corner
FEATURES: font sensitive, *very* small (5328 Bytes turbo-imploded),
runs on the default public screen, supports tooltypes and
CLI-args.
New to V1.4c
Select scrolling method for graphical display
(time, (small or large) memory change); bugfix
New to V1.4
Select type of mem to be stolen, optional
window that shows mem graphically; bugfix
FIXED BUGS:
V1.4 -> V1.4c
- Prog crashed when selecting `relative graphics` without
an open gfx win (THX R. Mueller!)
V1.3 -> V1.4
- opened win in right upper visible corner of screen if
the tooltypes LEFT, RIGHT were 0
- had some problems with proportional fonts - now uses
the DefaultFont
V1.2 -> V1.3
- improved message handling
- fell back to Delay() - but now user-configurable
- killed fatal bug in selecting a public screen.
