Short: MemMon 1.92 Monitors mem levels, can give warnings Author: simon@gadge.u-net.com (Simon Hitchen) Uploader: simon gadge u-net com (Simon Hitchen) Type: util/wb Version: 1.92 Architecture: m68k-amigaos A program which displays how much chip/fast mem is available and can display totals and largest blocks. It can also give warnings when any of the memory levels falls below the definable settings. The warning can either be a change in the text display colour in MM's window or a beep screen warning if the window is not able to open on the frontmost screen. MemMon can also be set to follow you to the frontmost screen (if public) as you flip between different screens. It will "remember" the X and Y screen positions on up to 20 different screens in any one session. It can also be "hidden" and will re-appear if a warning needs to be given. Fully controllable with user-defined hotkey combinations or with a commodity exchange program. Descriptions of all the tooltypes follow. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks for beta testing and putting up with the odd "strange behaviour" from MemMon in its previous incarnations to: Frank Mathieson - frank@massin.freeserve.co.uk http://www.massin.freeserve.co.uk Pam - pam@mythos.u-net.com Andy Silman - andy@orion27.freeserve.co.uk Paul Dixon - pauldix@valerie.u-net.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourteen tooltypes to mess around with: --------------------------------------- (if any of the tooltypes can't be found, the following values are the default settings) 1) CHIPLEVEL=256 (measured in K) If chip mem gets lower than this level, a warning can be given. 2) FASTLEVEL=1024 (measured in K) If fast mem gets lower than this level a warning can be given. 3) SECONDS=1 Time between updates/warnings. 4) BEEPCOUNT=2 How many times the screen may be beeped as a warning that one of the levels has fallen below the warning level. 5) DEFAULTX=20 Default X screen position for the window. 6) DEFAULTY=20 Default Y screen position for the window. 7) TOGGLEKEYS=lalt t User definable hotkey combination to hide or show the window. See "Hotkey Notes" later. 8) PUPPYMODE=Stay (can be Stay or Heel or S or H) Selects if MM will stay on the current screen or try to follow you onto the frontmost screen if possible. 9) PUPPYKEYS=lalt h User definable hotkey combination to toggle the current PUPPYMODE between Heel or Stay. See "Hotkey Notes" later. 10) STARTSCREEN=Workbench Select which public screen MM should start up on. If the named screen is not available or the field is blank, MM will try to open on the frontmost screen or the default public screen. Useful in combination with PUPPYMODE=Stay to open MM on a named screen that may not be at the front of the display. 11) SIZEKEYS=lalt s User definable hotkey combination to toggle the size of the window between Big and Little. See "Hotkey Notes" later. 12) STARTSIZE=Big (can be Big or Little or B or L) Selects the size of MM's window on startup. 13) STARTDELAY=0 Selects a delay (in seconds) before MM attempts to open it's window on startup. 14) CLOCKMODE=24 (can be set to 24 or 12 or 0) Might as well have some useful info in the window title bar :-) Shows the current time in MM's window as a 12 or 24 hr clock or 0=no clock. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Two gadgets to press: --------------------- [ ] Snooze Same as pressing the TOGGLEKEYS hotkeys. Hides the window. [ Heel ] or [ Stay ] Same as pressing the PUPPYMODE hotkeys. Cycle between Heel/Stay mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotkey notes: ------------- To choose different hotkey combinations from the default ones (maybe because of clashes with other programs having the same ones set) you should choose a qualifier key and an individual key for each. Qualifier keys should be either: lalt ralt lamiga ramiga lshift rshift ctrl Individual keys can be any other key on the keyboard including small case letters, numbers and Fkeys eg: lalt F1 ctrl 6 rshift z (or anything else you want really) If any of the hotkey combinations are set to the same keys as one of MM's other ones, they will all revert to the default settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- A bit more info: ---------------- You can also control MM with a commodity exchange program eg: Workbench:Tools/Commodities/Exchange or CxPx etc. The Hide Interface, Show Interface and Remove buttons can be used to control MM. The program requires the "Xen.font" size 8, for use in it's window display (everyone has this font - probably :-) The program adjusts it's window height to take into account the font size used in the window titles. MM can't be run if another copy is currently running.
