WHAT?
---------
Tired of having a CyberVision64 with 4MB and not using 3 of them? Then
this small program might be useful for you. `Program', in this case,
should be spelled `h'-`a'-`c'-`k', though.
`AddCyberMem' adds a user-specified amount of memory from the end of the
CyberVision64's on-board display memory to the exec list of free memory -
you can use it as if it were standard FAST memory. By default, it gets
Priority 10, so the real FAST memory is preferred, but not the CHIP memory.
USAGE
---------
The command template is KBYTES/N/A,PRIORITY/N. Never start twice!
ATTENTION
-------------
As stated previously, this program is a hack - this means, it might not
work under certain conditions or even crash the machine. The CyberGraphX
software seems to require additional display memory when dragging screens
as well as when switching them, so it is most safe to use `AddCyberMem'
when the board is not in use at all.
However, I run a 1024x768x8 Workbench (few programs use bigger screens) and
don't encounter problems when stealing 2MB from the board. But it's
possible use all 4MB if you work with the AA chipset. Nevertheless - for
this to work, the board must be initialized - all you need to do is run
this small script, for example at the beginning of startup-sequence:
assign env: envarc:
devs:monitors/cybervision
addcybermem 4096
SOURCE CODE
---------------
The program has been compiled with GNU C 2.7.0. SAS/C fanatics please
notice that the executable is smaller than this .readme ,-)
LEGAL
---------
`AddCyberMem' and all its accompanying files are hereby explicitly declared
as Public Domain - handle with care!
