*
*   NAME
*	Move4K - Moves as much out of the lower 4K of RAM as possible
*
*   SYNOPSIS
*	On 68040 systems, as much of the lower 4K of CHIP RAM as possible
*	is removed from system use.
*
*   FUNCTION
*	On 68040 systems the MMU page sizes are 4K and 8K.  Enforcer
*	uses the 4K page size.  Since watching for hits of low memory
*	is a vital part of Enforcer, this means that the first 4K
*	of RAM will be marked invalid.  On current systems, only
*	the first 1K of RAM is invalid and thus 3K of RAM in that
*	first 4K will end up needing to be emulated in Enforcer.
*	In order to reduce the overhead that this causes (and the
*	major performance loss) this program will try to move as much
*	from that first 4K as possible and make any of the free
*	memory within the first 4K inaccessible.
*
*	Enforcer itself also has this logic, but it may be useful
*	to be able to run this program as the first program in
*	the Startup-Sequence (*AFTER* SetPatch) to try to limit
*	the number of things that may use the lower 4K of RAM.
*
*   INPUTS
*	Just run it...  Can be run from CLI or Workbench
*
*   RESULTS
*	Any available memory in the lower 4K of CHIP RAM is removed
*	plus a special graphics buffer is moved if it needs to be.
*	After running this program you may have a bit less CHIP RAM
*	than before.  You can run this program as many times as you
*	wish since it only moves things if it needs to.
*
*   NOTES
*	This program will do nothing on systems without a 68040.
*	It does not, however, check for the MMU and thus it will
*	move the lower 4K even if the CPU is not able to run Enforcer.
*
*	V39 of the operating system already does have the lowest
*	MMU page empty and thus this program will effectively do
*	nothing under V39.
*
*   SEE ALSO
*	"Eloquence is vehement simplicity"
*
*   BUGS
*	None.
