MMonitor is a shareware utility for Windows 3.1 or WIN-OS/2 for OS/2
2.1 that can dramatically increase the amount of usable memory 
available to your applications and provides both a graphic display 
and history file of system utilisation.  

This is a sub release that adds the following fixes and 
enhancements.  

Fixed in this Release 

+ Errors when writing to shared LAN recorder file 

+ Conflicts when addressing some com ports 

New in this release 

+ Compress may be issued by clicking on icon 

+ Scale (ticks) added to graph 

+ Option to start as a window rather than an icon

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 t o 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 ful l screen DOS).  
In this way it could replace the function of 'Clock' on the desktop, 
thereby saving both memory and clutter.  

Special Notes ============== 

Requires VBRUN100.DLL 

Please ensure that all comm ports are set to 'idle' or 'warn' 
otherwise MMonitor may attempt to open them during use, possibly 
resulting in a loss of data.  

If MMonitor is used with WIN-OS/2 benefit will only be gained 
for WINOS2 sessions running several applications. MMonitor will
reduce the effective paging requirement of the system by 
periodically compressing the storage allocated to WINOS2.
