>>>>>>Mini Resource Monitor version 1.2<<<<<< by Ramon Valbuena -- email comments, suggestions, and (gasp!) bug reports to RLValbuena@usa.net Last modified - 5:19 PM 7/27/98 THIS PROGRAM IS FREEWARE. It comes with NO WARANTIES, GUARANTEES, OR LIABILITIES on my part. I don't see how it could possibly harm your system, but you are using it at your own risk. Mini Resource Monitor will keep you constantly informed of your system's resource levels, with colorful bar gauges and text displays of available system memory and free disk space on the current drive. It has "always on top" capability (toggled from the system menu), and even remembers its screen position (reappearing where it was last placed). And when minimized, MiniMon's icon is a miniatue version of the full-sized display! The Icon Title also provides text readout of system resources, free disk space, free memory, and the current date and time! ** Now, MiniMon v1.2 also compacts Windows 3.1 Virtual Memory! From top to bottom, the bar gauges display: * Free GDI resources * Free User resources * Unused disk space on the currently selected drive * Available system memory (Windows Virtual Memory) The Disk Space flyover hint shows the disk's free space and full size, and the Memory flyover hint shows the largest contiguous memory block and maximum available memory. >>>>>CHANGING PROGRAM OPTIONS<<<<<< * Changing gauge colors: Double-click on the gauge to bring up the Color Dialog and select a new color * Always on Top: Use the System Menu to toggle MiniMon's topmost status on and off * Change Drive: Enter the letter of the drive on which to monitor free space. * Compact Windows Memory: Remember, before attemping to defragment Windows memory, save your files and close unneeded program windows! Then click the confirmation dialog's "OK" button... >>>>>>Acknowledgments<<<<<<< MiniMon was inspired by projects from Neil J.
