This program simply patches the AllocMem exec call when it is run and alters
the requested memory type so that any program which tries to allocate fast
ram on a chip ram only Amiga will end up getting chip ram instead.
I wrote this because I got a copy of Fractint for the Amiga and I found that
it needs fast ram to load, which is actually unnecessary. So I wrote this
program and it now runs fine on a chip ram only Amiga.
