I'm looking for an OS/2 app which shows how much physical ram is installed, as well as how much ram is being used/available.
Presumably I can setup RAMFS to use all available RAM...
It would be nice if there was an OS/2 port of HDT http://hdt-project.org/ - anyone tried porting it? I think the source is available as part of SYSLINUX.

You might try SysInfo from Alexey Smirnov. I just have the beta 0.8, but it gives me a lot of that info.

There are lots of utilities to show total ram/used ram/swap. I have memwatch here (should be on Hobbes along with many others)
Ramfs dynamically grows and shrinks and uses swappable memory so will swap out if it grows bigger then available memory. It has some quirks, generally only shows 64MBs free and can give out of space errors for large files. Also doesn't work right for LIBC symlinks.
It's easy to test.

I used Sysinfo many years ago and had completely forgotten about it. I just tried it out and it showed I had 1GB of memory which didn't sound right. I then tried another program http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/system/vio_sysinfo.zip and that showed 3GB which sounds more like it.

HI John
You may want to give BS_Info a try http://wdsibyl.org/en/Downloads/display/lid/97 - lots of system information and can start some configuration programs.

I like Theseus4 from IBM because it lists usage by program.
