1.	Introduction

Welcome

Welcome to RamGate - System Resource Manager for Windows.

RamGate controls the way in which Windows manages system resources and 
memory.

Windows crashes or General Protection Faults (GPFs) as they are most 
commonly known, can be disastrous. Huge amounts of data can be lost and 
there is no way of predicting when or where they will strike. Makeshift 
solutions include running only a few applications and regularly saving 
your work.

One of the primary causes of GPFs is the improper accessing of memory. By 
managing the way in which Windows and Windows applications use system 
resources and memory, RamGate is effectively able to stabilise your 
Windows environment.

As more and more resource hungry applications are released by the major 
software houses, the risk of GPFs occurring when running several 
applications simultaneously increases significantly.

The result of using RamGate is a significant reduction in the occurrence 
of memory based GPFs.

RamGate lets you run many resource hungry applications simultaneously 
while still providing stability inside Windows. Free Windows System 
Resources can be minimal without any loss in performance of the 
applications you are running.



Windows - a brief technical overview

Windows is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which allows the user to 
operate the computer by means of pointing and clicking on functions 
which are represented by icons.

As far as memory management is concerned, there are three key Windows 
files.

KRNL386.EXE is the DOS file in Windows which controls system resources. 
GDI.EXE is the DOS file in Windows which controls graphics drivers. 
USER.EXE-is the DOS file in Windows controlling memory.

Random Access Memory or RAM is the computer's basic memory or in layman's 
terms, its ability to process information. Virtual Memory  refers to the 
section of the hard disk drive which is used to simulate RAM in Windows 
(sometimes called a swap file) when physical RAM is full.

There are two important blocks of system resources. These are GDI and 
USER. In Windows 3.1 and 3.11, each of block is 64 kilobytes in size. 
In Windows NT and Windows 95, they are 4GB in size.



Why Windows Crashes Occur

Windows crashes occur because Windows is a multi-tasking environment. A 
multi-tasking environment is one which allows the simultaneous operation 
of 2 or more functions or applications.

In order to multi-task, Windows requires the assistance of a 386 or higher 
processor. The processor can make applications believe that they are the 
only application running. It achieves this by creating several "virtual 
machines". Each virtual machine has its own memory address space. The 
processor runs in what is known as protected mode and attempts to keep 
applications from interfering with each other.

GPFs occur when an application attempts to use an area of memory which is 
being used by another piece of software; either another application, a 
device driver or even Windows itself.

There are several conventional techniques which can help minimise your 
Windows crashes.

Determine the nature of the GPF

Note the exact error message that Windows gives you. Often, it will 
indicate which application has caused the problem. It can then be examined 
and if required, re-installed.

Incompatible Hardware

Adding a CD-ROM drive, a new monitor or modem can cause driver problems if 
the new hardware is incompatible. Remove all occurrences of any new 
hardware drivers from your configuration files.



Reinstall your software

If your GPF is consistent, it is possible that a program file may have got
 corrupted. Re-installing the software from the original disks may solve 
the problem.

Tidy Up your Hard Disk

De-fragment your hard disk drive by running defrag in DOS. Also run CHKDSK 
and/or SCANDISK to repair any problems with your files.



How RamGate Works

The basic principle behind RamGate is simple. To use memory and resources 
contiguously. That is, rather than jumping all over the place to find 
small blocks of resources and memory, RamGate ensures that when an 
application makes a request for resources, it is given a block immediately 
next to the previously allocated block. Additionally, a small buffer zone 
is built into the request for and subsequent allocation of resources. This 
basic allocation method is in contrast to that of native Windows which 
will grab memory from all over the place.

Contiguous use of memory will provide for a more efficient operation of 
Windows as well as improved stability. This is why you will be able to 
safely run more programs than ever before.

Most importantly, RamGate uses no memory or resource compression techniques. 
This is important as memory and resource compression can lead to unwanted 
side effects.



RamGate and RamGate Pro - What's the Difference.

RamGate is a terminal Stay Resident (TSR) program that once started, will 
remain active until closed by the user. RamGate puts a protective layer 
around the system resources and memory and a shield inside Windows itself. 
It will allow you to open many more applications without crashing than you 
previously could. To achieve maximum stability, however, each application 
needs to be protected from every other application. This is what RamGate 
Pro does.

In addition to putting a general protective layer around Windows, RamGate 
Pro puts an extra protective layer around individual applications for 
which it has been configured. It is the ideal choice for power users and 
those who work with critical data. Even if some of the applications that 
you run under Windows are not supported by RamGate Pro, configuring those 
of your applications which are supported is well worth the effort. You 
will notice a marked improvement in the number of applications that you 
can safely open. Because RamGate Pro pre-defines blocks of system 
resources and memory to be used by applications, even an application which 
is not supported will run with greater stability as it will more neatly 
fit into unused resource and memory addresses. If maximum Windows 
stability is your goal, RamGate Pro is your product of choice.

2.	INSTALLING RamGate


2.1 System Requirements

386, 486, Pentium or equivalent PC
4MB RAM or higher
3MB hard disk drive space
Windows 3.1, 3.11, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Windows 95


2.2 RamGate Installation

The installation procedure assumes that Windows 3.1,3.11, Windows for 
Workgroups, Windows NT or Windows 95 is already installed on your hard 
disk. If it is not, you must install it before trying to install RamGate.

To install RamGate on your system:

2.2.1.	UnZip ramgatep.zip into a temporay directory e.g. c:\temp.
2.2.2.	From the Program Manager, select the File menu and choose Run.
2.2.3.	Type 'drive:\tempdir\setup' e.g. c:\temp\setup in the Command Line 
	box and click on OK or press Enter. 	
        The RamGate setup screen will appear with the default directory 
	displayed. You can accept the default directory or change it to 
        install the program in a different directory. If you wish to change 
        the target directory, type the new directory and press Enter.
2.2.4.	Click on Continue or press Enter to continue the installation. The 
        status window will appear to indicate how the installation is 
        proceeding.
2.2.5.	When the installation is complete and all the files are copied to 
        the target directory, the final installation screen will appear. 
        The screen will state that the installation is complete. You do 
        not need to restart Windows.


2.3 RamGate Pro Configuration

The major difference between RamGate and RamGate Pro is that RamGate Pro, 
in addition to providing general stability inside Windows, also puts a 
protective shell around each application that is configured for it. This 
additional protective shell provides near perfect stability for each 
application and is a must for power users and those who work with critical 
data.

Configuring RamGate Pro will take a few minutes, but it is an investment 
in time that is well worth it.


2.3.1.	Once RamGate Pro has been installed, you will be returned to Program 
	Manager with the RamGate Pro group shown. There will be an icon 
	labelled, "Configure Applications for RamGate Pro".

2.3.2.	The next screen you see will tell you which version of Windows you 
        are running. RamGate Pro will automatically detect which version you 
        are running. Please note, that you may only check one box on this 
        screen. You will also be asked whether you wish to use the RamGate 
        button. If you check this box, the RamGate button will appear in 
        the top right corner of the screen in each application that has 
        been configured for RamGate Pro. If you leave this box unchecked, 
        the application will appear as normal.

2.3.3.	Select each application you wish to configure for RamGate Pro by 
        clicking on it and then on the Add button.

2.3.4.	Click on Next.

2.3.5.	Click on the Configure button next to the application you have 
        selected. Select the path and directory location of the application 
        by clicking it. Then click the File Location button. If you are 
        unsure of the location of the file, simply click the File Location 
        button. Then click on the "exe" file line so that it is highlighted. 
        Then click on Select.

2.3.6.	Once all the applications you have selected have been configured, 
        click on Done.

2.3.7.	The icons for your selected applications will now appear in the 
        RamGate Pro group.


You may change the RamGate button option after you have configured your 
RamGate Pro applications. You should, however, only change this option 
when no RamGate supported applications are running.


2.4 The RamGate Resource Monitor

Both RamGate Pro comes with a graphical style interface which 
lets you see at glance all your important system resource statistics.


2.5 Unused Memory

The unused memory graph indicates the amount of unused memory on your system. The 
total memory available is a combination of physical RAM and virtual memory.

The graph assumes that your total available memory is between 10MB and 100MB. 
If it is less than 10MB, it will be scaled by a factor of 10. That is, if 
the total of your physical RAM and virtual memory is 5MB, then The RamGate 
Resource Monitor will indicate 50 MB. If your total memory is over 100MB 
then it will be scaled down by a factor of 1:10. That is, if you have 
200MB of physical RAM and virtual memory, the RamGate Resource Monitor 
will show 20MB.


2.6 USER Resources and GDI Resources

These are the two main components of Windows system resources. Indeed, 
when you take a resource count in Windows, it is the lower of these two 
figures that constitutes the amount of free system resources.


2.7 Resource Stability without RamGate

Most unprotected Windows systems begin to become unstable when 35%-45% of 
free system resources have been used. This graph reflects the amount of 
stable free system resources you would have had available if you were not 
using RamGate.


2.8 Resource Stability with RamGate

This graph reflects the amount of stable free system resources you have 
available when you are using RamGate.


3.	USING RamGate Pro

3.1.	When you start an application that has been configured for RamGate 
        Pro and you have chosen to use the RamGate button, the RamGate 
        button will appear in the top right corner of the application 
        screen. Clicking the RamGate button will take you back to the 
        Program Manager. If you have specified that the application is to 
        remain open in the background (see point 2), then the next time 
        you double click the application icon, you will be taken straight 
        into the application and any data file that you were working on 
        prior to clicking the RamGate button will appear.

3.2.	To specify that an application is to remain open in the background
        or closed upon clicking the RamGate button, open the ramgate.ini 
        file through Notepad. Scroll to the section headed 
        [LeaveApplicationsOpen] and specify "true" for the applications to 
        remain open in the background and "false" for the applications to 
        close.

3.3.	Icons initially in the RamGate group are not required to remain in 
        that group. You may move these icons to other groups. However, if 
        you intend to use multiple copies of an application, you may wish 
        to change the icons to indicate the differences. And remember, 
        RamGate only works effectively when you launch applications from 
        the icons provided by the RamGate configuration procedure.

3.4.	If you have a number of applications open but cannot maximise an 
        application because system resources are below 10%, you can use 
        the Alt-Tab combination to switch to the required application.


NOTE: RamGate Pro is only configured for the applications initially 
installed. RamGate Pro cannot be configured for applications that are not 
listed on the back of the RamGate Pro package. Ensure that the correct 
version of the application that you wish to configure is listed on the 
back of the RamGate Pro package. Application version numbers can usually 
be found in the Help/About menu of the application.




4.	FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)


Q:	Does RamGate change any of my system settings?

A:	No. RamGate will not change any of your system configuration files. In
 	fact, there are no nasty side effects to RamGate.


Q:	What if most of my applications are supported by RamGate Pro but
 	some are not.

A:	It is still worth configuring your applications. Those which are 
        configured will be extremely stable. Those which are not will 
        still receive RamGate's general Windows stabilisation and you may 
        well notice improved stability in their operation. If a particular 
        application is particularly troublesome, contact us at the RamGate 
        Internet home page and we may be able to provide RamGate support 
        for your application.


Q:	Do I need RamGate or RamGate Pro if I'm running Windows NT or 
        Windows 95?

A:	Yes. Windows NT and Windows 95 should provide slightly more 
        stability than Windows 3.1 and 3.11, but the basic memory 
        addressing architecturesare identical. If you're using 16 bit 
        applications you are still susceptible to GPFs just as with 
        Windows 3.1 and 3.11.


Q:	There is no filename listed for XXX in the RamGate.Ini file.

A:	You must configure that application for RamGate Pro. Click the 
        configure button and follow the instructions as they appear on 
        screen.


Q:	I'm using RamGate and I'm still getting GPFs.

A:	If the GPFs are consistent then they are very likely to be driver 
        based GPFs. Remove all occurrences of any new hardware drivers 
        from your configuration files.


Q:	I'm still getting Out of Memory Errors.

A:	RamGate allows you to run more applications by stabilising your 
	Windows environment. The GDI and USER resource blocks in Windows 
	are a fixed size. RamGate cannot increase these. It can only make 
        them work more efficiently. Beware of utilities which make claims 
        to the contrary.


Q:	My system freezes when I launch a RamGate Pro application.

A:	You have configured an incorrect version of your application. 
        Check the version and if necessary, re-configure it. If you cannot 
        use your mouse or keyboard because of this freeze, just press the 
        "Alt" button.


Q:	What if I have a version of an application close to one on the 
	RamGate Pro list?

A:	Try configuring the application to the closest version match. 
        Some applications may be protected but if you suffer from the 
        freeze described above, then the application is not supported by 
        RamGate Pro.


Q:	Why do I still get Memory based GPFs with RamGate Pro?

A:	With RamGate Pro you must always initiate an application or 
        switch to it using the application icon which RamGate Pro creates.


Q:	Why do I still lose free system resources when I open and close 
        applications?

A:	RamGate And RamGate Pro allow applications, upon their 
        initialisation, to freeze a portion of memory stack as they 
        normally would. However, once this initial freeze has occurred, 
        no additional memory will be frozen by these applications. Removing 
        the memory stack freeze during a current session would introduce 
        the possibility of a crash to DOS.


Q:	I still get GPFs in my Word Processor

A:	These errors usually occur when the Spell checker, Thesaurus or 
	Grammar checker are run. These tools are actually separate 
        applications launched from within the word processor and as a 
        consequence, are not protected by RamGate Pro.


Q:	I get Out of Memory messages in my Spreadsheet application.

A:	This message may appear with or without RamGate or RamGate Pro.
 	This error is usually caused by too much information being held in a
 	spreadsheet. If more than 64Kb of information is held then these errors
 	become common as the application attempts to use all the free system
 	resources.


Q:	Does RamGate affect DOS applications run in Windows?

A:	No. RamGate and RamGate Pro only work with Windows applications.


Q:	Does RamGate affect Conventional Memory?

A:	Yes. RamGate Pro does free unused conventional memory when 
	accessed by applications which use conventional memory.


Q:	Does RamGate affect Cooperative multi-tasking?

A:	Yes. RamGate actually enhances Cooperative multi-tasking.


Q:	Can I run RamGate and RamGate Pro at the same time?

A:	Yes.






5.	Using RamGate Pro with Software Suite ButtonBars


Each of the Microsoft, Lotus and Novell software suites comes with a 
button bar that makes application switching simple and quick. To RamGate 
the button bar of your software suite, follow the instructions below. 
These instructions presume that you have already configured RamGate Pro 
for the various applications that you wish to use it with and that you 
now have a program group called RamGate Pro.



MS Office

If you have chosen to use the RamGate and you are using small buttons in 
the Microsoft Office Manager (MOM), you will want to position the MOM so 
that it is not covered by the RamGate button. To move the MOM, go to 
[Options] in the msoffice.ini file and set RightPos= to 88 or greater.

Start MOM
Click on the Microsoft Office Button
Click on Customise
If you are not in the Toolbar section, choose it from the top tab menu
Un-check all the applications which are currently checked
Click on Add

You will now see a properties box similar to that which you get when you 
add an application to a group in Program Manager.

Enter the name of the application in the Description line
Type the executable file name* in the Command Line
Enter the path in the Working Directory (This will most likely be c:\ramgate)
Under Button Image, choose Application Icon

*Please note that for RamGate Pro to work properly, the executable file 
must be the RamGate equivalent of the application. If you are unsure as to 
what the RamGate equivalent file is, check the properties of the icon that 
was placed into the RamGate Pro program group when you configured it.



Lotus SmartSuite

Start Smartcenter.
Click on the system control menu in the Smartcenter toolbar.
Choose Smartcenter.
Choose customise Smartcenter.
Choose Add Application
Specify the RamGate Pro application and its path.
Choose an icon from the list of possible icons.
Repeat the process for each RamGate Pro application.



Novell PerfectOffice

Click on the Desktop Application Director (DAD) Preferences button
Choose create
Choose the create from Program Manager Group option

DAD will now create a RamGate toolbar for you.

If you wish to make subsequent changes, go to the [Desktop Application 
Director] section of win.ini and specify the name of your preferred button 
bar in the ButtonBar= "" line. If you wish to take it back to the original 
settings, specify PerfectOffice.




6.	Uninstalling RamGate


RamGate and RamGate Pro both come with an uninstall program that can be 
found in the RamGate group after installation.

To uninstall RamGate or RamGate Pro double click the uninstall icon and 
follow the instructions as they appear on screen.

You may wish to move the uninstall icons to another group so that you do 
not inadvertently remove RamGate or RamGate Pro.




7.	Support

You may register for comprehensive RamGate support through the RamGate 
Internet home page. It can be found at:

http://www.ramgate.com.au

There, you will find additional frequently asked questions. You will also
 be able to download updated RamGate Pro application files.

8.	A Note About Bruce Parker

Bruce was born in Orange, New South Wales, Australia. A country boy at 
heart, he had dabbled in a number of fields including photography, 
restaurants and deer breeding. Having studied computer science at Sydney 
University (he never got his degree - isn't there another guy who did this?)
Bruce likes to program in Pascal, Fortran, C and C++. He also does a bit 
under sufferance in Visual Basic.

It was in his capacity as database administrator in a large Australian law 
firm that Bruce became increasingly frustrated with the inherent instability
of Windows applications (and lawyers). It was also here that he met up with 
lawyer, Peter Havas.

In early 1994, Bruce and Peter together founded Ni-Tech Pty Limited (named 
for the noise made by the Holy Grail knights).

Like many programmers, Bruce's photo would only scare you (actually, he's 
a little shy) so to find out what he looks like or to drop him a note, 
check out the RamGate Internet site at:
