FRES Version 1.52
Copyright (c) 1992 by Jamie O'Connell

As promised, This is a version of FRES which should work under
both Windows 3.0 and 3.1.  In addition, I've added a "Stay on Top" 
feature -- see FRES.WRI for details...

FRES is a small Windows program.  It displays and updates the
Date, Time, Windows Mode, Free Memory, and Free Resources .  It 
doesn't take up much memory or screen space.  I run it all the 
time in the lower corner of my screen.


Fres is copyrighted software, but may be used and distributed 
freely -- I encourage it.  

INSTALLATION

The only file needed to run Fres is FRES.EXE.  You can copy it 
to any directory and attach it to a group in the Program Manager
(Pick File/New... and add a Program Item).  Alternatively, you
can add FRES.EXE to the LOAD statement in your WINDOWS.INI file.

I've included the source code for anyone who cares.  It should 
compile using any Windows capable compiler.  I used the new
Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 compiler to build this version.

Packing List

   README.TXT		This file

TECHNICAL NOTES

Fres uses a non-modal dialog box as its main window.  When it starts
up, it checks the version of windows running.  For Windows 3.0 it
uses the undocumented function, GetHeapSpaces, to determine free 
resources; for Windows 3.1 it uses the new GetFreeSystemResources
function.  Note that the FRES.DEF file explicitly IMPORTS 
GetHeapSpaces, as the function was removed from LIBW.LIB for vers 3.1.

If you want to compile it using a Windows 3.0 SDK, remove the 
code that references GetFreeSystemResources.
