Notes
- The program is a 32 bit application and there is NO speed advantage running under 64 bit editions of Windows.
- The program checks the system has at least 400Mb of free memory on starts up and does not run if there is less free memory than this (this is quite a low value for free memory). This is to avoid problems running with low memory. Free memory depends on the programs currently running and the operating system.
