yeah, I used to show gdi,user and system values as percentages. these are
actually win16 items. in windows 9x, I was able to do some thunking to
continue displaying them, but in nt/2000, the api changed enough to make
this impractical. what i use now is an api constuct termed MemoryStatus.
the "load" refers to memory load (!?), and the free mem refers to physical
memory that the os has not claimed. This doesn't nescesarily mean the
memory is being used, just that windows is holding onto it for paging, etc..
if you go to the "details" view, you may get a clearer picture of what is
going on. I haven't really used ME at all (i got totally off 9x august
1999) so I'm not sure what are normal values for you. you should start to
get a feel for it after some use. personally, with win2k, i have mine go
red at 95%, blink at 97 and not beep until 99. when i hear a beep, i know
the system is hosed. but usally at that point, my free mem has already
started to rapidly decrease.
happy coding!

I checked it out, and it certainly is unobtrusive! I couldn't find it at
first, and was wondering what the pinging was ;o)
It looks to be very handy, I was just wondering, it shows "load 89%" and
"free 5.14 MB" on win ME 128 ram pIII550 with only Outlook open. Do I
have some major trojans eating my resources?? Normally I can easily run
5 or 6 large programs at the same time, so there should be more than
5mb ram free??
On the windows Resource Meter I get system 47% free, user 49% free, GDI
58% free.
Otherwise a very handy util.
Cheers,
Richard Bennett

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
<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
from my site : http://www.dynamic-core.net/
<http://www.dynamic-core.net/>
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)
1) FreeMemPro
http://www.downloads.3bsoftware.com/Downloads/freemem/freemem.html
<http://www.downloads.3bsoftware.com/Downloads/freemem/freemem.html>
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.
2) Taskinfo http://www.iarsn.com/download.html
<http://www.iarsn.com/download.html>
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
