    Simple! :)



    PURPOSE
    ~~~~~~~

    The object of this program is to test the CHIP/FAST RAM of your Amiga to
look for any possible failure.



    INSTALLATION
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Just copy the hole MemTest directory anywhere you want to use it.
    The program comes in two versions: 'MemTest-00' for 68000 processors and
'MemTest-20' for 68020 or better processors. Rename the one you what to use
as 'MemTest'.
    You can also find two sizes icons in the 'Icons' directory if you whant
to change it.



    USAGE / OPTIONS
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The program can be started from either Workbench/CLI. In both ways you
can use the same parameters/tooltypes following the format: <option>=<value>

    mem=chip|fast|both - Choose the type of memory you want to test: fast,
chip or both.

    mode=vervose|quiet - Select 'vervose' to display output information. In
'quiet' mode only errors will be shown.

    fill=<value> Byte value to fill the memory with.

    dump=<from>-<to> - Dumps to the output the selected range of memory (before filling if you use it).

    From CLI you can use also '?' to display a short help.
