[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Memory Mapper Source?

dave@wucs1.wustl.edu (David T Mitchell III) (02/19/90)

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,

 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.
