   What is AvailMem?

   AvailMem is a little program that gives you a graphical information about the
   current  status  of  your  Chip-  and Fastmem. Both displays are divided into
   three   parts.  (I  begin  from  the  left  side).  The  first  part  is  the
   nonfragmented  part  of  your  free memory. The second part is the fragmented
   part  of  the  free memory. The last part is the used part of the memory (its
   color is the backgroundcolor).

@node StartFromShell

   Starting from shell

   The  input  of  'AvailMem  ?' gives you an overview of the parameters you can
   specify.

      example 1:
      1> AvailMem ?
      L=LEFTEDGE/N/K,T=TOPEDGE/N/K,W=WIDTH/N/K,R=REFRESH/N/K,C=COLOR/N/K:

   LEFTEDGE:
      The left edge of the program-window.

   TOPEDGE:
      The top edge of the program-window.

   WIDTH:
      The width edge of the program-window.

   REFRESH:
      A value in seconds  how often  the programs updates the display. The value
      '0' is possible but takes a lot of your computerpower.

   COLOR:
      A value of a  colornumber which you can see when opening the systemprogram
      'palette'. For example '1' is the black (standard colors).

      example 2:
      1> AvailMem L=200 TOPEDGE=12 WIDTH=100 R=2 COLOR=1

@node StartFromWB

   Starting from workbench

   Doubleclick  the icon and AvailMem will start. It's smart to copy the program
   into your WBStartup drawer. You can specify some tooltypes which are the same
   words than in the shellmode.

@node Thanks

   Thanks to:

   - Matthew Dillon for that nice Dice-C-compiler
   - Stefan Becker for the Dice-germany-distribution and for Toolmanager
   - Stefan Stuntz for the brilliant MUI
   - Dietmar Eilert for his GoldEd (I want to register, sorry! But therefore
     it has to have functions like 'Undo' and a better replacefunction
   - Michael Illgner for his help to explain the boobsi-objects
   - all others from the Amiga-User-Group-Uni-Paderborn (AUGUP)

   Other programs of me

   Since  the beginning of 1993 you can find a Tetris-clone on many FTP-servers,
   mailboxes  and  the Amiga-diskmagazin which you can play on the workbench and
   which  doesn't  open a special screen for it, I hate this. Its name is WBTRIS
   in  version  1.54.  I have received a lot of hints of improvements but if you
   work on other projects it's difficult to understand the WBTRIS-source after a
   half year. :-)  Maybe I will return to WBTRIS.
