Originally described in the "Power Windows" column appearing in the 
January, 1995 issue of WINDOWS Magazine.  
By Karen Kenworthy (INTERNET: karenk@bix.com, AOL: WinMag1, CIS: 71154,2571).

This is the WinMag Resource Probe described in the "Power Windows" column 
appearing in the Jan. 1995 regulare issue, and the June 20, 1995 
"World-Class Tune-up" special issue, of WINDOWS Magazine.  

It checks the level of several critical system resources such as:

Free Conventional Memory (memory below 1 MB)
Used Conventional Memory 
Free Extended Memory
Free Application Timers
GDI and USER Heap utilization
Free TEMP drive space

All information can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into any application 
that accepts text (such as Notepad).  Freeware!


Installation
------------
Just run it from Program or File Manager's File|Run menu choice, or 
assign it an icon within Program Manager (using ProgMan's File|New
menu choice).


Use
---
Once run, just click anywhere inside the program's client area. 
This will cause the program to examine your system and update its
display.  This may take anywhere from a fraction of a second, up
to 20-30 seconds, depending on your computer and its available 
resources.

You can copy the displayed information to the clipboard by selecting
"Copy to Clipboard" from the program's System menu (the one that 
looks like a spacebar, in the main window's upper-left corner).  This
allows you to paste the information into programs that accept text, 
such as Windows' Notepad.


Changes Since Version 1.2
-------------------------
An occasion problem with GPF's has been fixed.  Apparently, some module
names were too long or not properly terminated (by a Nul).  As a result,
when RESLIM tried to retrieve the module name of its display of 
conventional memory, it overwrote some memory locations.

RESLIM not properly remembers its screen location and window state (minimized, 
normal or maximized) between invocations.

Specific resource probes can now be suppressed by specifying a command
line parameter.  The parameter is a string composed of any of the
following characters:

0   Suppress probe of Used and Free Conventional RAM
2   Suppress probe of Free Extended RAM
4   Suppress probe of Free System Resources
5   Suppress probe of Free GDI Heap
6   Suppress probe of Free User Heap
8   Suppress probe of Application Timer pool
a   Suppress probe of TEMP drive assignment and Free TEMP Disk Space

For example, to suppress probes of Free Extended RAM and Application Timers,
use this command line:

RESLIM.EXE 28

To suppress all probes except Free Extended RAM, use this command line:

RESLIM.EXE 04568a



Changes Since Version 1.4
-------------------------
You can now cause ResLim to stop counting application timers after 250
free timers have been found.  This eliminates lengthy delays when running
under Windows 95 (which often has more than 2,500 free timers).  You can
suppress the counting of extra timers by de-selecting "Count All Timers"
from the program's System Menu.
