Memory Priority Utility
			------ -------- -------
			)1991 Brent Johnson


Purpose:
--------
	This is a small utility that will show you the priority of each
region of memory that you have available.  You can also change that 
priority if you do not like it. The most useful application for this
program (and the reason I wrote it) is to set the 'Fast Memory' on an
A500 to a lower priority than any 'expansion ram'. The reason for doing
this is because 'Fast Memory' on the A500 is not fast at all. As a
matter of fact, it is as slow as Chip Memory, but the custom chips can
not access it. (The worst of both worlds!)
	
	The default priorities for Fast and expansion ram are both zero,
but since the Fast Memory is listed first, it gets used first. There is
a speed advantage to using expansion ram first, so just include this 
program in your startup-sequence.

How to use MemPri:
-----------------
	To list the memory you have, and its current priority setting,
just run the program with no arguments.

Work:> MemPri

     Region Name	  Size	 Start Addr.   Priority
     -----------	  ----	 -----------   --------
  1  Fast Memory	 516888	  0x00C004E8	   0 
  2  expansion ram	2097120	  0x00200020	   0
  3  Chip Memory	 523232	  0x00000420	 -10

Work:>


	To change the priority of one of the memory regions, give the region
number (given in the first column of the output) as the first argument,
and the priority you want to set it to as the second argument.

Work:> MemPri 1 -5

     Region Name	  Size	 Start Addr.   Priority
     -----------	  ----	 -----------   --------
  1  Fast Memory	 516888	  0x00C004E8	  -5 
  2  expansion ram	2097120	  0x00200020	   0
  3  Chip Memory	 523232	  0x00000420	 -10

Notes:
------
	The program does not do much error checking on the input.  If the
region number does not exist, nothing is changed. The priority is a byte
value (signed), so if you give it something out of range, who knows what
value will end up there. Just try it. I don't think you will be able to
guru the machine by giving bad arguments (but go ahead and try).
	The reason there is no output when you change a value is to make
it very simple to use in a startup-sequence. 

(fill in name here)-ware:
-------------------------
	If you have any comments, suggestions, or good jokes, please write
to me. If you use this in your startup-sequence, I would love to hear from
you. Just drop me a post card and let me know about your system. I am very
curious as to how many people find this sort of thing useful.

Oh yea, if anyone is interested in the source, I think $5 would be fair.
