Does anyone have (or know where I can find) source for a program to map out memory usage? I have a couple executables which produce a listing of block number, size, hooked vectors, etc. However, none are very clever about figuring out the name of the program. Also, expanded memory mapping usually shows just block number and size. I want to write a little util which will do what the others do, plus: Attempt to identify every block; worst case, display the 1st ascii string found in the block. Multi-colum output, or pause feature. I use desqview under 8mb and the mappers always scroll off the page. Pretty output. Perhaps color-coded. I'd rather not start from scratch; any info available would be greatly appreciated. Naturally, I'll post the source when it's completed. thanks, dave dave@wucs1.wustl.edu

Well, this doesn't help in your search for source, but PC Tools Deluxe (5.1) has just such a memory mapper program. Plus a whole lot more! The program called 'mi' (Memory Information) gives a text-based mapping of your RAM complete with program names. I agree, a graphical program would be much nicer, though. -Jeff
