Memory info
This function allows you to view how RAM in your computer is being
used.
+--------------------------------------+
| Memory Info |
+--------------------------------------+
| What info would you like to view ? |
| |
| Device driver map |
| 1st Megabyte memory map |
| Conventional memory map |
| UMB+conventional memory map |
+--------------------------------------+
You may invoke the menu by performing one of the following operations:
1) Select the "Memory info" item in the "Other" menu.
2) Press the keys [Shift-F2].
3) Press [Shift], point the mouse cursor to the item "F2 memory info" in
a mini-prompt and press [Enter] (or the right button of the mouse).
The CP permits to see the device drivers map, conventional memory map,
Conventional memory and UMB map and the 1st Mb memory map.
Drivers map
To invoke the Device Driver map do one of the following:
1) Press [D]
2) Select the "Device driver map" line in the "Memo info" menu and press
[Enter].
3) Point the mouse at the "Device driver map" line in the "Memo info menu"
and press left button.
The driver map shows all the drivers on your PC. Each driver is shown
with its name, header, type, attributes and comments.
To see more information on any chosen driver do one of the following:
1) select desired driver and press [Enter];
2) point the mouse at the desired driver and press left button.
Table with additional information on a particular driver looks like
follows:
+-------------------------------------------+
| Device Driver Info |

| Name : AUX |
| Type : Char |
| Header : 0070:0035 |
| Attributes : 8000 |
| Size : |
| Interrupts intercepted : |
| Strategy part offset : 06F5 |
| Interrupt part offset : 0721 |

1st Megabyte memory map
The First megabyte memory map shows how the first Mb of memory is
located in 1Kb units. It can be very useful if you are loading an extension
map with its own RAM or ROM or memory manager. The map looks like follows:

RAM blocks are memory blocks accessible for DOS directly (below A0000)
or as UMB (above A0000).
Video RAM is used by a video adapter. Some memory managers can use
graphic video memory (from A0000 up to B0000).
ROM blocks contain basic BIOS or BIOS adapters codes. Some times they
can be used by the QEMM (TM) memory manager.
The EMS pages area is inaccessible as regular RAM though it can be
used by EMS support applications.
Reserved blocks can be used by memory managers, but not by adapter
maps.
Unused blocks can be used both by memory managers and adapters' maps.
Memory map and Memory map and UMB
To display conventional memory map do one of the following:
1) Press [C].
2) Select the item C-Conventional memory map in the "Memory info" and
press [Enter].
3) Point the mouse at the "C- Conventional memory map" line of the "Memo
info menu" and press left button.
To display conventional memory and UMB:
1) Press [U].
2) Select the item "C-conventional memory and UMB map" in "Memo info" menu
and press [Enter].
3) Point the mouse at the item "C-conventional memory and UMB map" in the
"Memo info" menu and press the left button.
The table showing the memory map is in fact a menu which makes it
possible to select and delete resident programs in RAM. This table shows
all the programs residing in the memory. For each resident program CP
displays the segment where it is located, the size of memory it uses, the
interrupts that are re-installed by the program as well as information
relevant to whether you can remove this resident from memory. You can remove
only those residents that are marked with "Yes" or "Possible" in the
"Removable" column. To remove a resident program from memory you should
perform one of the following operations:
1) Highlight the block you want to remove with the selection bar using
arrow keys and press [Enter].
2) Place the mouse cursor to the block you want to remove and press the
left button twice.
If the block is removable CP will delete it from memory. If deletion
is possible CP will ask for confirmation "Do you really wish to remove it?"
and the block will be removed from memory only after you confirm the
operation. If the block is unremovable and you try to remove it the CP will
notify you of this fact.
