FreeMem v1.00 ------------- The memory taken by the system seems to increase with time as programs and documents are opened and closed. In fact, there is no memory leaks but EPOC32 caches procedures and does not deallocate all the memory when an application is closed, in case it is opened again soon. It saves time and reduces the fragmentation. However the memory gets fragmented with time and it reduces performances (large memory segments are spread over serveral cells). FreeMen defragments the memory and reclaims all the unused segments. Installation: ------------- 1 - If you want to install FreeMem as a regular application with an icon in the Extras-bar, copy FreeMem.aif and FreeMem.app in \System\Apps\FreeMem. 2 - If you prefer to install FreeMem as a macro or a small standalone program, copy FreeMem.opo wherever you want (e.g. where you store all your macros). 3 - In both cases, if you don't already have it, install SystInfo.sis as you do with any other sis file : double-click on it either on the PC (if PsiWin 2.1 is installed) or on the Series 5 (if there is an Add/Remove icon in the configuration panel). Usage: ------ You can use FreeMem as a standalone application (just start it from System or the Extras-bar) or run it from Macro5 as a program or as a macro. FreeMen cleans up the memory and displays a report with the memory used before and after the clean up and the memory freed. Planned enhancements : ---------------------- None. Known issues : -------------- FreeMem uses the temporary UID &FEDCBA98. Copyright : ----------- This program has been written by Pascal NICOLAS.
