RE: [Dynapi-Dev] a couple of tools

Windows users might find my resource monitor useful.
 
It's a small little window that sits in the corner of your screen displaying the current system load and memory usage in realtime.  It has an audible alert when you are near locking up.
 
It also includes a screen.magnifier which is helpful when building widgets and aligning edges to pixel accuracy.
There is also a color matcher.  When engaged, move your mouse over the screen.  The app will display the hex and RGB values of whatever your cursor is over.
 
You can find it on my site at http://www.nebiru.com 
click on downloads.
 
best of all, it's free!  :)

hmm, I can think of one :)
 
I'm currently working on Oversight, which will be a debugger and editor in one.. you can still download an early debugger version
 
I will hopefully be able to upload the latest code this weekend.. (the editor part, and an updates debugger)

Does anyone know of any debugging tools to use on the mac?
Anything other than alert boxes would be very helpful :-)
 
Thanks!

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] a couple of tools

I have found the following tools to be indeispensible when working with (and debuggin) DynAPI
 
(WIN32 - sorry)
 
 
    This is a ram 'defragmenter' for Window 32.. the way it works is it allocates as much ram from windows as it can, which forces windows to swap unused data from physical ram to swap space.
Then it releases this ram using proper memory management resulting in more free ram.
It will keep doing this until it gets as close to the specified amount of free ram as it can.
 
On my Win98 system which has 128 megs of ram, I ask it to free up 128 ,egs and it gives me
80 to 100 megs free ram.. Which is damned handy when one has been re-loading the same DynAPI app over and over again..
 
It's not a cure for memory leaks but it make development much easier, and reduces crashes/reboots.
 
    This program is for Window 9X and closly resembles the Task manager in Windows 2000, with a little extra functionality.
 
You can find out how much ram and CPU time each process is using, what files the process has open and much more.
 
In fact it was because of my constant observation of running processes that I discovered last week that I had caught a trojan.. :-)
" what in the hell is this Wininit.exe?!? and hey! I've never seen DNETC.exe before.. "
 
Just a couple of tools to hopefully make your life easier..
 
Later
Doug
