Hi -- does anybody out there have any memory-testing routines out there,
uuencoded, ARC-ed is fine, that they can send to me via e-mail or post
to the net?  (the best way to reach me is on host husc4, not husc2)  Also,
some sort of chkdsk (disk-checking routine) for a hard disk?

I have COMPUTE!'s "STSHELL.PRG" from one of their disk-magazines -- it is a
very simple, mostly not very useful, slightly-CSH-like CLI.  It has a
command called "mf" for "memory free", I guess, only what it tells me is that
I have 786442 bytes available.  Since I should have a little closer to a meg
than that (the program itself is only 23447 bytes long, and the desk acc-
essories certainly don't take up that much slack), so either there is something
wrong with the "mf" program, or there is some memory in my machine that is not
working.  Does anybody have any advice on testing this out (short of finding a
good memory-testing routine)?  I do not yet have any compilers.

			thanks,
