USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Please try to keep the source with the executable. ...other than that, enjoy yourself! Q. What is "The Fuel Guage"? A. A little program written in E by yours truely that opens a window on the defualt public screen and not only displays a guage of available CHIP and FAST memory, but throws a few vector images around to entertain you. This program runs at priority -1 for your convenience. I gave this to Wouter to release on the condition that he doesn't mind me using his vector routines (those from vec.e). So, if your reading this, it's obvious he was cool about it. I've written a more appropriate one myself but it would take too long to implement - in this version anyway. I won't ask for any donation or such for using this since it is pritty weak and the vector code isn't mine to sell! Although, nice letters, postcards and briefcases full of unmarked bills would be appreciated. :-) What I do ask is that you use and support the use of Amiga E. Nothing else comes close. (when will Wouter think of a catchy slogan - he's already asked me to appear in his prime time TV commercials :) Wander through the source and see what you think. I don't not claim that this is written to it's best efficiency - infact i know of several areas that are just plain crap (LONG shape Lists for example). I have tried though to show good programming practices - perform() for example, shows how you can use global vars and quoted expressions to your advantage when multiple processing objects (even though the memlist only contains 2 objects! :-) Oh yair. E users and all others please write (100% Legal :). I would be especialy interested in you if you... · Live far way away into the distance. (AND speak english!) · Have an interest in writing really tricky yet system friendly code. · Appreciate the importance of a good cup of coffee. · Are NOT under the influence of drugs. · Are NOT under the influence of XCopy (100% Legal :). · Sleep with one eye open so that if your Amiga gets up in the middle of the night to conqure the world, you want to see it (and then read the source code to see how it's done!) · Enjoy writing pages and pages of miscelaneousness. Enjoy. Christian. Tue Jun 14 14:48:19 1994
