This is MemMometer V2.1
Previous versions of MemMometer were
V1.0 - Distributed to Peter Da Silva and Tom Rokicki, sent to Fred Fish
but was evidently not put on a Fish Disk. Problems with this
version of the program were that it used the Delay(Arrgh) function
for timing, and that it had an unrestricted menu selection for
Slow-Fast memory and Fast memory base that, with non-existent
memory, would result in a crash without prior warning. Also, the
codes for one, two, or three columns were separate, so it was
issued as three independently compiled programs.
V1.1 - Not Distributed. Delay() function replaced by VBLANK timer code
that was earlier submitted to Usenet by Andy Finkel. (Although
Andy is a member of the CBM Amiga programmer team, the use of
his codes in MemMometer do not in any way constitute an approval
of the program on his part, of course.)
V2.0 - Not Distributed. A Menu item was added for setting MemMometer's
running priority. A Requester was added to inform the user that
Slow-Fast memory selections in Warps mode must be physically
correct to avoid a system-fatal Guru 4 illegal instruction
exception trap (or worse), see the documentation for details.
V2.1 - Some changes to the 8 color workbench color table to improve the
ability to recognize 0xffffffff checksums and to better conform
with CBM Workbench colors, and some corrections to inaccuracies
in the documentation. Because it was possible to reach the (ahem)
forbidden processor read-toggle type addresses through selecting
severely maligned Fast memory base values, a call to the requester
was additionally inserted for the Fast memory base menu. The
requester was also fixed to open with a link to the MemMometer
window (titled "F") rather than to an underlying dummy window
(titled "Mem Mometer"). While it renders the title a trifle
obscure, it limits the resource request to one requester-sized
window rather than two.
Files included in this package with names like whatever_info are icons;
they can be pressed into service wherever needed by substituting point
