For over 25 years I used the fine tool "WatchMem" for looking for

memory leaks. Thx for your work, Daniel! It offers many features

(which I never used), on the other side it lacks features I wanted

to have, so I wrote my own tool "MemLeakZ".

Usage

=====

Run MemLeakZ and a window with a font-sensitive GUI opens. MemLeakZ

offers two Chip-Fast-RAM memory meters displaying the change of the

memory usage. Negative numbers mean increasing memory usage, positive

numbers increasing free memory.

Each Chip-Fast meter has its own "reset" button setting the meters to

zero. The "flush" button removes unused libraries, devices from memory.

History

=======

0.1 initial version

1.0 first Aminet version

1.1 MemLeakZ did not UnlockPubScreen, locking the WB screen forever

Thanks to Hagbard Celine for reporting this bug.
