Re: [Dynapi-Dev] a couple of tools

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

I checked it out, and it certainly is unobtrusive! I couldn't find it at =
first, and was wondering what the pinging was ;o)
It looks to be very handy, I was just wondering, it shows "load 89%" and =
"free 5.14 MB" on win ME 128 ram pIII550 with only Outlook open. Do I =
have some major trojans eating my resources?? Normally I can easily run =
5 or 6 large programs  at the same time, so there should be more than =
5mb ram free??
On the windows Resource Meter I get system 47% free, user 49% free, GDI =
58% free.
Otherwise a very handy util.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett

  Windows users might find my resource monitor useful.

  It's a small little window that sits in the corner of your screen =
displaying the current system load and memory usage in realtime.  It has =
an audible alert when you are near locking up.

  It also includes a screen.magnifier which is helpful when building =
widgets and aligning edges to pixel accuracy.
  There is also a color matcher.  When engaged, move your mouse over the =
screen.  The app will display the hex and RGB values of whatever your =
cursor is over.

  You can find it on my site at http://www.nebiru.com=20
  click on downloads.

  best of all, it's free!  :)

    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 :-)

      Thanks!

        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
