- SHOWME Version 2.2
- Copyright 1990, Crown Software Corporation
-
- SHOWME is a utility for corporate PC managers and users. It is designed to
- give a quick overview of the equipment installed on a machine without having
- to open the box, analyze the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and otherwise
- spend lots of time trying to determine what's what.
-
- Of course, the results reported are only as good as the software loaded. Thus,
- SHOWME will not report a mouse unless a mouse driver is loaded, nor will it
- report EMS (expanded) memory if no driver is present.
-
- Questions may be directed to Steven Stern via Compuserve electronic mail at
- user id 70327,135.
-
- Since SHOWME puts out more than one screenful of information, the best
- way to run it is to either pipe to output to MORE or redirect it to the
- printer:
-
- 1. Pipe the output to MORE:
-
- SHOWME | MORE
-
- 2. Redirect the output to the printer:
-
- SHOWME > PRN
-
- Below is a sample of SHOWME's output and the source of the information
- displayed.
