    of the files contained herein.

    If you do NOT fully understand and agree, DO NOT use this program
    or information.


    DISTRIBUTION
    ------------
    You are free to copy and distribute this program as long as the files

    UNCLRAM3.PRG \ UNCLRAM3.TXT \ UNCLRAM3.LST \ OTHERTTL.TXT \ NEWTERMS.TXT

    are included, are NOT modified in ANY way and NO FEE of ANY type is
    incurred upon the recipient for the files _themselves_.

    You ARE free to do whatever you like with the contents of UNCLRAM3.LST .
    You MUST, however, distribute the ORIGINAL copy of the file when    
    distributing the UNCLRAM3 package.


    CHATTER
    -------
    This is really a re-release of UncleRam 2 with one exception. The
    source code is included in GFA  .LST  format. Hopefully the code
    will be of some use to you in your own programs.

    UNCLRAM3 runs as either an accessory or program.


    RUNNING IT
    ----------
    When you run\select it, it will present you with...

    FREE RAM:
    - - - - -
    This is the amount of the LARGEST block of free memory in your computer.
    This doesn't necessarily mean it is ALL the free memory you have left.

    Say you are running a 100k program and while in it access another 50k
    of memory, for a RAM disk or module. This will basically leave you
    with 2 seperate memory blocks, a 50k block and a 100k block. The
    FREE RAM feature will display the largest of these 2 blocks.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    NOTE: It is a VERY BAD idea to have a desk accessory ask the system
          for extra memory while inside an executing program ! Such a
    call WILL lead to memory fragmentation and WILL eventually lead to
    a system crash ! If you REALLY have to ask the system for more
    memory, do it from the GEM desktop.

    TOS VERSION
    -----------
    This reports the version of TOS you have installed (the version number
    of your operating system).

    TOS DATE
    --------
    This shows the release date for your version of TOS.

    COLD
    ----
    Clicking on this button performs a "Cold Reset" of your computer. This
    is basically the same as turning your computer OFF and then back ON.

    A Cold Boot is generally ALOT harder on your system hardware and
    should NOT be used unless you really feel you need it. A cold boot
    generally clears areas in memory that normally survive a warm reset.
    If you're experiencing problems that won't go away no matter how
    many times you hit the reset button, try a cold boot.

    WARM
    ----
    This is the same as pressing the "reset" button on the back of your
    computer. Say you are in a program which has crashed and returned you
    to the desktop. It is possible that some of the program is still in
    memory and may cause problems. A warm reset will usually clear up
    any of these problems (and save you the trouble of reaching around
    back to find the reset button).

    EXIT
    ----
    Click on this box to exit the alert box without any changes.
