- Preface
- -------
- System Analyser 'SA', is a program that tries to get as much (hardware)
- information from the computer as possible. It's more elaborate and more
- precise than most other info programs available. You will be able to find
- things about your PC that other programs can only partly reveal, or do not
- reveal at all!
- All items are not simply put in columns but what goes together,
- is grouped together.
- You can find out what's in your PC, and how it functions.
- It's a valuable help during installation of new hard- and software,
- tracing problems, and optimising your computer.
-
- Here is a summary of all the possibilities of 'SA'
- ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- * only in registered versions
- - In shareware + registered versions
-
- * Use in batch (Test+save+exit) with a few name options.
- * Use in batch (Test+print+exit). prints the 'main page'
- * Wit SA52.INI control over the result file
-
- * The program is protected against virus infections.
- The program notifies if a virus is trying to infect it, afterwards `SA`
- shall clean it.
