- Short: BugFix & new feature: V1.5 - Observe mem usage of other progs and steal `em memory
- 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 (5888 Bytes turbo-imploded),
- runs on the default public screen, supports tooltypes and
- CLI-args.
-
- New to V1.5
- 'Sleep'-option: WatchMem displays only memory and doesn't
- changes GfxWin and settings anymore
-
- 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:
- V1.4c -> V1.4d
- - Fixed Enforcer-Hits (THX R. Mueller!)
- - Small Bug in V37-compatible function
-
- V1.4c -> V1.4d
- - Prog used a V39-function in the gfx-win (THX J.Granseuer!)
- - now clears Bevelboxes first before writing new free mem
- (caused some slight problems with certain fonts...)
-
- 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.
