GCStat 1.1 - Small frames heap display for the Newton MessagePad. GCStat is a small application that does a garbage collection, then displays the amount of memory free in the frames heap. The display will appear in the center of the screen for 2-3 seconds, then disappear. If you would like the display to disappear sooner, just tap it. Addendum: To clarify the utility of GCStat: The reason for the garbage collection is to get "a more accurate" assessment of the frames heap. Doing manual garbage collection is generally not needed, since the system will automatically garbage collect when it "senses" the need to do so.
