[Ham-Computers] Win98 "Garbage Collector" - was "RAM Defrag"

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Stepping back a bit in time (about 1 week), I found the app I use to use in
Win98 for "garbage collection".  It's called "ResMan and can be found here:

You might also need to download a small support library if not already
installed on your system (there's a link on the page).

I put a shortcut to this app in the Startup group so it always started up
with Windows.  Then, every once in a while, I would open the GUI and run a
"compact memory" when I felt it necessary.  As a bonus, it also doubles as a
task list, though there are much nicer task managers available (such as
"Process Explorer" from sysinternals.com).

Speaking of Sysinternals, if you have never been there, it's time to visit.
The "power" tools that Sysinternals offers are excellent and, considering
the price of most of them (free), they're outstanding!  There are several
dozen utils available.  Be careful though...these are "power user" utilities
and you can get yourself in trouble in a hurry if you're not careful!
