The pdf instructions and install disk is here:

I just downloaded the 1.01 version disk and can confirm for you that the AddXAMem file is on the disk in the WBStartup drawer. ;)

AddXAMem is only a tooltype using setxa, adding memory. But under 3.1+ you don't need to use addxamem, because it's added at startup anyway (autoconfig).
You might wanna try setxa to increase the speed of ram with RAMSPEED (at your own risk ofcourse).
