DESCRIPTION

     PoolWatch is a debug tool for OS 3.0 and higher designed to watch
     and correct illegal allocation and freeing of memory that use the
     pool-functions provided in OS 3.0 and upwards.  PoolWatch is
     necessary since Mungwall do not catch any illegal memory handling
     concerning pool-allocations.

     PoolWatch is especially useful in combination with Enforcer,
     Mungwall (which will watch normal allocations that use
     AllocMem/FreeMem), SegTracker and FindHit (included in the
     Enforcer archive).

     If SegTracker is running in the system when PoolWatch is started,
     PoolWatch will use the public SegTracker seglist tracking for
     identifying the hunk and offset into the executable doing illegal
     allocations.

     PoolWatch will patch CreatePool(), DeletePool(), AllocPooled(),
     and FreePooled() in exec.library.  PoolWatch will use these
     functions but will add extra security on top of all
     pool-allocations.  In most cases of illegal allocation/freeing,
     PoolWatch will report the error to the user and correct the
     problem (if possible).  Please note that PoolWatch does not offer
     any memory protection if a task writes to a random addresse in
     memory, but will take care of most problems associated with pool
     allocations.

NEW FEATURES

     Version 1.02 fixed two small bugs, and introduced three new
     options; NOSTACK, NOREGS and STDIO (output to stdio instead of to
     the serial port).  Version 1.03 fixes an address error (occurred
     on 68000 machines), and introduces the options UPDATE and
     DOILLEGAL.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
