NewAllocMem © 1997 Adam Polkosnik

DESCRIPTION:
-----------
This proggy patches AllocMem() of the exec.library to
use one that is better for a few reasons...


DISCLAIMER:
----------
Use this program at your own risk!
I assume no responsibility or liability for problem(s) and/or damage(s)
that occur by the use, modification, and/or existence of this product,
and/or its parts in any form.
Don't blame me if your miggy ate your dog,cat and your research paper ;-)


INSTALLATION:
------------
Copy it to your c: directory or wherever you like.
You can add the line C:NewAllocMem to your startup-sequence, or
user-startup.

USAGE:
-----
C:NewAllocMem

That should do the magic. 



WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT IT:
-----------------------

	- NewAllocMem is full AllocMem() replacement
	
	- Doesn't call Allocate() or AllocAbs() anymore

    - Flush should work for the first time
      (no need for "magic" like in AllocP) 

    - Fast memory clearing routine is used
      to clear big blocks of memory

    - Obvious optimisations made...(should be faster than the original)

REASONS FOR THIS RELEASE:
------------------------

     - I was getting tired of all those partial replacements that
       were wasting CPU time.
       
     - AllocP 1.x ( C coded version) yuck!
     
     - Getting publicity for upcoming OS-patcher made by me with cooperation
        with:
          - Dave Jones
          - Iain Barclay
          - Jess Sosnoski
     
     - Hmm... I just forgot this one...
