Running processes and available memory ?
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2019 3:54 pm
Hello.
I'm a newbie with Sinclair QL (although I deal with several other computers from the 80s, mainly 8 bits).
I recently got a Tetroid interface card with Minerva ROM, built-in Toolkit 2, floppy disc interface and 768k extra memory.
I'm currently trying to extract some programs from disc using the unzip tool I put on RAM1_.
After a few commands, unzip fails with "out of memory" error.
I suspect this may because some programs remains in memory although I think they stopped (BTW : If I call TK2_EXT more than once, do I load Toolkit 2 several times ?)
Since QDOS is AFAIK a premptive multitasking OS, is there a "Linux ps" like command to list all running processes ?
How to check the memory usage ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
