DC Reserve v1.0

Copyright (c) 1991 Double Click Software

Program by Keith Gerdes and Michael B. Vederman

DC Reserve v1.0 is a FREEWARE program.  A FREEWARE program is one which you may
freely distribute, but you cannot charge for it or alter the program or
contents of the documentation in any manner.  Double Click Software retains
all copyright exclusive rights except exclusive distribution.

==============================================================================

DC Reserve will reserve a predefined amount of memory when you execute a
program.  For instance, if you run FLASH! it normally uses all available
memory for a capture buffer.  With DC Reserve installed and set to reserve
100K, when you execute FLASH! you will have 100K free RAM in the program
for use for other things (like DC Shower).

==============================================================================

======================
Configuring DC Reserve
======================

>To configure DC Reserve:
-------------------------
1) Run DCRESERV.PRG from the desktop.  A main menu will appear.
2) Press the <ESC> key to clear the reserve line.
3) Type in the amount to reserve in programs (in Kilobytes).
4) Click on SAVE.

NOTE: This configuration is good for the next time you bootup.

- or -

1) With DC Reserve installed as a desk accessory, choose DC Reserve v1.0
   from the DESK menu.  The main menu will appear.
2) Press the <ESC> key to clear the reserve line.
3) Type in the amount to reserve in programs (in Kilobytes).
4) Click on SAVE.

NOTE: This configuration will take effect immediately.


==================
Running DC Reserve
==================

>To install DC Reserve:
-----------------------
1) Copy DCRESERV.PRG to your bootup disk AUTO folder.
2) Reset your machine.  DC Reserve will install on bootup.

- or -

1) Rename DCRESERV.PRG to DCRESERV.ACC
2) Copy DCRESERV.ACC to your normal desk accessory bootup path.
3) Reset your computer.  DC Reserve will load in and be ready to serve.


================
Using DC Reserve
================
Ain't nothing to it!  Just run a program, and get the free RAM you asked
for.

======
CAVEAT
======
Kuma Resource Construction Set owns all of memory when it executes, and
_never_ gives the memory back, so DC Reserve doesn't have anything to do.

Other programs may do this.  Not much we can do...
