Overview of MMonitor
====================

MMonitor is a shareware utility for Windows 3.1 that can dramatically increase the amount of usable memory available to your applications, thereby reducing the need to add more memory to your system. MMonitor can also record information about the usage of a system or systems thus enabling informed decisions to be made about the purchase and use of equipment.As more applications are started in Windows the computer's memory becomes split into small fragments. When a program tries to get 
a large piece of memory it may be that it is not available, or that in order to get it Windows has to compress all it's memory, during which time no other tasks can run. This could have unpleasent results if, for example, a file transfer were in progress.

MMonitor can monitor Windows use of the computer and after the machine has been idle for a predefined interval it will compress and re-allocate memory. In most cases it will de-fragment and make more memory available than Windows would have done if left to its own devices.
Clicking on the MMonitor icon will display a graph of  percentage cpu usage (howbusy the computer is), free storage use, storage fragmentation and GDI/User heap usage for the last hour or since MMonitor was started.

When MMonitor is iconised it will display the current date, time and other information, as selected by the user. If the Always on Top option is selected the MMonitor icon will remain visible regardless of the application running (with the exception of full screen DOS). In this way it could replace the function of 'Clock' on the desktop, thereby saving both memory and clutter.
