Sysmeter, which comes with the Windows Resource Kit, shows three vertical bar graphs (user and GDI heaps and memory usage) as a "dynamic" icon. The bar graphs change from green, to yellow and finally to red as you use up resources or memory. The Kit, which includes a book which explains virtually all the .INI file settings among much else, is available directly from Microsoft. SysUse shows four bar graphs in a similar dynamic icon: CPU usage, memory, resources and disk usage. It is available as shareware at winftp.cica.indiana.edu in /pub/pc/win3/desktop as sysuse13.zip. Registration is $5.95. PlugIn is an incredibly elegant piece of shareware that shows the amount of free system resources and memory in the active window title bar. It is _highly_ configurable and adds a lot of beauty and functionality to Windows. For instance, you can have icons of your choice as group icons. It's in the same place as SysUse on cica. The filename is plugin21.zip. Registration is $20 and well worth it. David S. Eitelbach dseitel@crl.com
