FuelGauge 0.06 (22-Feb-1993)
============================
Introduction
============
This is a little utility written by BjD (Ben J. Dooks) of DoggySoft, and
is ©1993 BjD. The program displays a 'fuel' gauge on the iconbar with the
free memory in digit form and a nice 'human freindly' pointer. The pointer
will go red if the ammount of memory exceedes the ammount set by the user.
The total memory will be read from the OS variable <FuelG$MaxMem> (which
should be a number in text form) and if this is not found the maximum
memory will be set to the maximum physical memory size (I.E 1Mb,2Mb,etc.)
The maximum memory can be set at anytime by using the iconbar menu (with
two options to set to <FuelG$MaxMem> or the current free memory) and clicking
select on the iconbar will set maximum memory to the current wimp free slot,
and adjust will set it to <FuelG$MaxMem>
The Quit option on the menu will do a temporary (i.e. leave the module in
place but quit the task) and selecting permanent will quit the task and kill
the module.
(NOTE : The module has an internal intergity check of itself and will fail
to start if this fails, you have been warned.)
Creating New Sprites
====================
The sprite fuelgauge2 has to be an exact copy of fuelgauge as it is wiped
and then fuelgauge copied into it every time the system is updated. The
sprites for the numbers (sprites '0-9') can be any reasonable size, although
large sprites will not fit well, and therefore numbers will be chopped off.
The old sprite file should be kept (must be if the program will be
re-distributed) and any problems with the sprite file will cause an error to
be produced (with the option to quit) but occasionally the system cannot
recover from an error and will crash. (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)

as long as no profit is involved in this copying (I.E. IT CANNOT BE SOLD)
but can be distrbuted as a program to fill up comercial disks (as long as
this program is not part of the software being sold). The program should
have all the original files intact, i.e. :
!Help
!Run
!Sprites
FuelGauge
Documents.DoggySoft
Documents.Adverts
Sprites - all the original sprites please.
you are however allowed to add to these files, i.e. new sprite files, and
those annoying 'This was distributed by...' files.
