DESCRIPTION

Everyone has heard of memory. Each program requires a certain amount
of memory to run. If the amount of memory required by programs exceeds
the amount of memory available to the computer-system, something bad
will happen.  Windows also has 2 limited storage areas for GDI
Resources and User Resources.  All running windows programs share
these areas.  Things stored in them include menus, bitmaps,
dialog-box controls, etc.  Unlike Memory, the size of the areas
available for these Resources CANNOT BE INCREASED.  And  Windows will
begin to behave strangely when either of these areas begins to run
low on free space.

Sentinel is a tool for viewing Resources and Memory usage on a
computer running Windows. This information may be displayed in
various ways. Sentinel may be configured to set off audio and/or
visual alarms when Resources or Memory reach prespecified levels.



INSTALLATION

Copy the files:
 SENTINEL.EXE
 SENTINEL.HLP
to any directory where you like to keep your stuff.  The other files
are optional and may be deleted.  However, you might like to save
README.TXT (this file) and/or ORDER.TXT for future reference.  Sentinel
may be started by running SENTINEL.EXE or by choosing SENTINEL.EXE from
the File Manager.


Sentinel may be added as an icon to a Program Manager group. In Program
Manager, click the "File" menu option, then "New", then select
"Program Item" and enter SENTINEL.EXE with its full path as the new item.
If you have a "StartUp" group, adding Sentinel there will cause it to run
every time Windows starts up.
