MuMakeRanger is a MMU.library aware ranger memory faking tool. That is, it
mirrors part of the system fast memory to the 0x00c00000 area (also known
as ranger memory) and provides it there to programs that expect ranger
memory present. This may be necessary by some non-conforming programs,
mostly old games, that simply write into memory regions without testing for
their availability. MuMakeRanger may help to solve such compatibility
issues. Optionally, MuMakeRanger can add this memory to the system memory
list or make its fake ranger memory cache-inhibited to degrade the access
speed to this memory.

This tool is part of the MMULib distribution. To find out more about the
mmu.library and its goals, download util/libs/MMULib.lha.
