	This is a set of tools designed to help find memory leaks in
programs, and to locate memory-hogging functions. It's implemented as
a wrapper library that goes around malloc/free/etc, and an include file
that "intercepts" calls to malloc/free/etc and makes them call the
wrappers. Thus, you can get extensive memory profiling and leak
detection by just adding one #include directive at the top of your
file and recompiling/linking.

	Unlike some similar tools I've seen in the past, this makes
sure that it keeps its on-disk data current, so that if the program
is crashed or interrupted, the results still have some validity. The
on-disk data is as compacted as I could make it, to give a chance of
this being useable in debugging big memory pigs. It adds some cost
in performance and memory size (since it keeps its own in-memory
symbol tables) but since it's only a debugging tool, I think the
cost is worth the benefit. This library can also be used to track
only allocations in a single module, or set of modules, and doesn't
interfere with calls to the "real" malloc() that are made in other
library routines.

	Every effort has been made to ensure that the code is
portable and won't interfere with running code - it should just
plug in or out. The biggest hindrances are forward declarations of
malloc() [which the preprocessor gleefully turns into syntax errors
for you] and structure elements named "free". The code has been
tested under Ultrix on DEC Risc and VAX systems, and under SunOS
on a Motorola platform.  Please send patches, suggestions, etc,
to the author, who will probably not have time to do anything with
them.

Compiling and building:
	You may wish to edit the Makefile and glance at mnemconf.h,
then simply type "make". "make mtest" will build a simple test program
that will give you an idea of how things work. "make runmtest" will
run the test and do analysis on it.
