Q.  What is "The Fuel Guage"?

A.   A  little  program written in E by yours truely that opens a window on
the  defualt  public screen and not only displays a guage of available CHIP
and FAST memory, but throws a few vector images around to entertain you.

This program runs at priority -1 for your convenience.

I  gave  this to Wouter to release on the condition that he doesn't mind me
using  his  vector  routines (those from vec.e).  So, if your reading this,
it's  obvious  he  was  cool about it.  I've written a more appropriate one
myself but it would take too long to implement - in this version anyway.

I won't ask for any donation or such for using this since it is pritty weak
and  the vector code isn't mine to sell!  Although, nice letters, postcards
and  briefcases full of unmarked bills would be appreciated.  :-) What I do
ask  is  that  you  use and support the use of Amiga E.  Nothing else comes
close.   (when will Wouter think of a catchy slogan - he's already asked me
to appear in his prime time TV commercials :)

Wander  through  the source and see what you think.  I don't not claim that
this  is  written  to it's best efficiency - infact i know of several areas
that  are  just  plain  crap  (LONG shape Lists for example).  I have tried
though  to  show  good programming practices - perform() for example, shows
how  you  can use global vars and quoted expressions to your advantage when
multiple  processing  objects  (even  though  the  memlist  only contains 2
objects!  :-)

Oh  yair.   E users and all others please write (100% Legal :).  I would be
especialy interested in you if you...

	· Live far way away into the distance. (AND speak english!)
	· Have an interest in writing really tricky yet system friendly code.
	· Appreciate the importance of a good cup of coffee.
	· Are NOT under the influence of drugs.
	· Are NOT under the influence of XCopy (100% Legal :).
	· Sleep with one eye open so that if your Amiga gets up in the middle
	  of the night to conqure the world, you want to see it (and then read
	  the source code to see how it's done!)
	· Enjoy writing pages and pages of miscelaneousness.

Enjoy.

Christian.
