FREESPAC.EXE

-or-

Yet more experiments with Visual Basic.

I was inspired by Richard Albury's "RESGAUGE" as to a "system resource gauge" function.
Except, I wanted to do it in Visual Basic instead of C - after all, it's NO FUN WHATSOEVER
to do it in C.

This version comes up as an icon. The icon is a face. The face smiles greatly if you have
>30% system resources free. It closes its mouth at >20% system resources free. It neither
smiles nor frowns at >10% system resources free. If you're hogging down Windows to the
point where 10% or less Free System Resources exist, it will frown at you. (And you'll
start getting messages from your apps.)

If you have Visual Basic, you can go in, look at how it's done, fiddle with the code
(The call "GetHeapSpaces" is a good way to get a UAE if you pass it illegal values!),
etc.

It didn't take long at all to come up with a working version. (The main thing was getting
back unsigned integers to compare.) 

Consider this to be free public domain software! Have a great day!
