Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Oversight (was: a couple of tools)

[Richard B. <ma...@ri...>]

Hi,
One thing I was pondering while checking the screenshot, is that you =
seem to have a large screen, so all windows have space, but please check =
what happens at 1024 or 800, it clogs the display, maybe you can =
implement show/hide, or shrink unused windows or something.=20
Maybe it would be even nicer to add a "tile" function, which resizes all =
windows to fill the screen.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett

  hmm, I can think of one :)

  I'm currently working on Oversight, which will be a debugger and =
editor in one.. you can still download an early debugger version
  from my site : http://www.dynamic-core.net/ =20

  I will hopefully be able to upload the latest code this weekend.. (the =
editor part, and an updates debugger)

    Does anyone know of any debugging tools to use on the mac?=20
    Anything other than alert boxes would be very helpful :-)

      I have found the following tools to be indeispensible when working =
with (and debuggin) DynAPI

      (WIN32 - sorry)

      1) FreeMemPro =
http://www.downloads.3bsoftware.com/Downloads/freemem/freemem.html

          This is a ram 'defragmenter' for Window 32.. the way it works =
is it allocates as much ram from windows as it can, which forces windows =
to swap unused data from physical ram to swap space.
      Then it releases this ram using proper memory management resulting =
in more free ram.
      It will keep doing this until it gets as close to the specified =
amount of free ram as it can.

      On my Win98 system which has 128 megs of ram, I ask it to free up =
128 ,egs and it gives me
      80 to 100 megs free ram.. Which is damned handy when one has been =
re-loading the same DynAPI app over and over again..=20

      It's not a cure for memory leaks but it make development much =
easier, and reduces crashes/reboots.

      2) Taskinfo http://www.iarsn.com/download.html
          This program is for Window 9X and closly resembles the Task =
manager in Windows 2000, with a little extra functionality.

      You can find out how much ram and CPU time each process is using, =
what files the process has open and much more.

      In fact it was because of my constant observation of running =
processes that I discovered last week that I had caught a trojan.. :-)
      " what in the hell is this Wininit.exe?!? and hey! I've never seen =
DNETC.exe before.. "

      Just a couple of tools to hopefully make your life easier..

      Later
      Doug
