- Short: Patch RAM to show right size & more
- Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
- Author: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter)
- Type: util/sys
- Version: 1.10
- Requires: OS 2.04 or better.
-
- This file patches the RAM disk to show the real size occupied - its no longer
- 100% full. Additionally, large blocks of memory for the RAM are allocated
- backwards, to reduce memory defragmentation.
-
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Changes made in 1.10:
-
- - Fixed a bug that actually broke the reverse memory allocation
- feature. Sigh.
-
- Changes made in 1.09:
-
- - PatchRAM replaces no longer the AllocVec() function completely.
- Thus, the patch might be slightly (almost unnoticably) slower,
- but is compatible to AROS. Thanks to Jörg Strohmeier for the
- report.
-
- Changes made in 1.08:
-
- - Streamlined the code a bit.
- - PatchRAM can now be run anywhere in your startup sequence.
- It loads the RAM disk in case it is not available.
