Doug, This program DOES exist and is really pretty nice.
I used the public domain version and thought it was GREAT, UNTIL..
I saw Monitor by Anvil.
There is a few problem in the reporting of memory usage and
such in V1.0, but in talking to management at Anvil they are only
a few weeks from shipping V1.1 which will be the real
work horse.  The Monitor utility has come in very handy,
and will actually teach you a lot about how Xenix works internally
by going thru the various screens and watching activity in the
system and what it does to various resource.
It monitors CPU, Memory, Disk, & Buffers.  And get very detailed
in the advanced screens.  It does link into the kernel to get
the info that it needs.  It takes approx. 438K to run.
If I can provide any additional info just let me know.
** I am not affiliated with Anvil except as a happy customer/reseller **
