Resource Gauges
The Resource Gauges show the percentage of free memory resources and disk space. On Windows 95/98, only the resource gauge for disk space appears.
The Resource Gauges are hidden by default and can be shown by choosing Show Resource Gauges item on the View menu. They will appear automatically if resources run low.
You should keep an eye on resources when working with very large concordances. The Resource Gauges' free segments turn from green to yellow to red as resources diminish.
The left-hand gauge gives a general indication of free memory (RAM) as a percentage. The way this is reported varies from one version of Windows to another (and is so unreliable under Windows 95/98 that the left-hand gauge is not used at all.) A low figure need not always be a cause for concern.
The right-hand gauge shows the percentage of free disk space on the default drive or the drive where you last made a concordance. If you run out of disk space, you won't be able to do anything much until you remove some files, so take this one seriously!
