Program to test your memory for errors
.description
MemCheck is a program to test your memory for hardware
errors - and to prevent them from affecting your other pro-
grams. It tests each individual memory circuit by attempt-
ing to switch all the bits in memory into the opposite state
then reading them to find out whether they actually have
taken the other value. Thus each bit is toggled and any
hardware errors will be found. After testing the memory is
restored to its original state.
Because fiddling with the whole of the memory would tend to
irritate other programs (to say the least!) all other
programs are paused while it runs.
