Brad,
I am not sure that system resources applies to NT based OSs. Unlike
Win9x, NT, XP, Win2000 are not bound by the 640k DOS memory restriction.
Each 16-bit application can run in its own address space if needed so
there are no "resources" used up by other apps. Therefore, why would you
need to monitor "unrestricted" resources?

Hi Mark,
I know about Task Manager, He was just asking about something that would
show the % of resources like 98 does. I'll just direct him to Task
Manager. I usually just right click the taskbar to access it. Fast and
easy. Brad Loomis
