This triggered a memory, and I went back to my ZBasic discs, and found a
program (actually a DA - remember them ?) called "Memory Monitor 5.0" on the
ZBasic discs. (I've actually got _everything_ back to ZB 3.0 - I'm just
waiting for a rich museum to buy them off me). This program used to do
everything you wanted.

Ran it, but it froze. It was (I think) written by some chap called Gariepy,
and was compiled on the 11th January, 1988.

You just can't get the staff these days, I'm afraid.
