WinEKG Version 1.0 ----------- WinEKG is a Windows utility which provides a real-time graphical display of 'CPU' utilization and remaining memory. [For those familiar with OS/2 2.0, this utility is similar to the Pulse applet.] The graph can be displayed as either a window of any size or an icon. Color and Control options are available thru the Control Box menu. Color options are self-evident. Control options allow for customization of sampling interval and size, and for control of the graphical presentation. Adjustment of these parameters effect system performance, i.e.- a fast sampling interval coupled with a large sample size requires more computation each sampling interval than a moderate sampling interval with a small sample size. Use of 'flicker-free' graphics may also adversely affect system performance on slow machines. Use of 'flicker-free' graphics also consumes more memory. Current options along with window size and position are saved whenever the window is closed either by operator action or Windows exit. For users of Windows 3.1, this utility will provide a warning when Free System Resources fall below a selectable threshold. The warning consists of a single beep and the Free Memory caption is replaced by 'FSR Low!'. This utility was written in Visual Basic and requires the presence of the Visual Basic VBRUN100.DLL in your Windows directory in order to run. This DLL is not provided with this utility, but is generally available thru most On-line services and BBS's. This utility has no restrictions on where it can be located on your hard drive(s), but the .EXE file and the .INI file must be located in the same directory. No other setup is required. Start the utility via the WinEKG.exe as you would any other small Windows utility or applet. This program is shareware, but there is no fee for its use.
