- About PoolMem:
-
- If you run a lot of programs without resetting the system, you'll
- usually find that the main memory of the computer is getting
- "messed up", split in lots of tiny memory "snippets" that are more or
- less useless due to their tinyness. It may happen that you can't
- start an application even though enough memory is available -
- because this memory is too fragmentated to be of any use.
-
- That's the point where PoolMem tries to help you : It manages the
- main memory in a way such that it can't get fragmentated too
- easely. It replaces also the function of AllocP, which is therefore
- obsolete.
-
- Installation and Usage:
-
- Copy the PoolMem program in this archive to the C: directory of
- your system partition. Add the following line to your startup -
- sequence:
-
- PoolMem >NIL:
-
- You might also want to install "PatchRAM" which is included in this
- archive, too. It modifies the system RAM disk in a way that avoids
- memory fragmentation, too. Another bonus is that the RAM disk
- will show its true size from now on, i.e. it won't be no longer 100%
- full. To remove PoolMem later on, open a shell window and enter
-
- PoolMem remove
