			  Description
RPM Gauge is a floating resource gauge used to graphically
represent User and GDI resources in use (in that order). 
These two resource pools are important to monitor because they 
are fixed in size and used by all Windows apps. The gauge colors
change to indicate the resource "RPMs" as follows: Green to
indicate 50% or less in use, yellow to indicate 51%-74%, and 
red to indicate that 76% or more available resources are being 
used up by running software. Think of it as a cars tachometer, 
when the gauge is in the green you're just cruising around town. 
If it's yellow, you're on the interstate speeding. And when it's
red you're pushing the red-line. When you run out of resources,
it becomes impossible to run more apps! It doesn't matter if you
have 32 megs RAM and a huge swap file; Windows will give you an
out of memory error and tell you to close some applications.

			 Instructions
Just run it! RPM Gauge needs no configuration, and does not
write to your WIN.INI file or create an .INI file of its own.
In fact, RPM Gauge is so "intelligent" it sounds an alarm when
resources fall dangerously low; and even self terminates,
freeing up its own resources to prevent resource stress on
critical applications and the possiblity of a system crash.
To manually end RPM Gauge, just click on it!
