Do you know of a utility that will show the system heap usage? I have a problem that I think might just be related to heap size, and have sized up heap with heapfixer, but think there might be a memory leak causing it to gradually fill and overflow. I think I've seen mention on the net of a utility (named scope?) that would display the heap status or something, presumably running as an init or da or cdev, so can run it while other program is running. The idea would be that I'd let this thing run until the problem appears and then check the heap to see if it has in fact overflowed. Couldn't find such on sumex...but hard to tell for sure...maybe I'm missing it. Thanks! -Drew Wade drew@objy.com -- ---- Drew Wade drew@objy.com

I've had two good answers already, so am passing them along to others who might be interested. 1. Spy! is CEV/SPY.HQX on sumex, a cdev (really INIT) that displays, just above the menubar, sys and appl heap remaining, stack size, disk remaining. 2. Bootman, found on local bbs, new (12/10/90 V1.0) is little utility that will set (in disk's boot blocks) heap size (like heaptools, somewhat different from heapsizer), # open files, # events, and will display a bar graph of system heap. Latter is useful only under multifinder. Thanks! -Drew -- ---- Drew Wade drew@objy.com
