! bug
Version 0.13α Release A (11/01/1996):
■ Hey, this amazing piece of Software is here again after some period
of time! Big change occurs in this version: User Interface Design
is changed drastically! Navrátil Software has crafted the best User
Interface ever made! Better than Norton Utilities' Design! Enjoy
fantastic desktop/windows/menus/dialogs/shadows in new state-of-art
look available on VGA (resp. EGA) systems! CGA/HGC look improved too!
* few code improvements
Version 0.13α Release B (11/03/1996):
* User Interface improved again!
* Mouse arrow has now better design (best from DOS' programs :-)
* Fixed bug where NSSI freezed when it reported "Program was modified..."
after self-check.
* some code cleanups
Version 0.13α Release C (11/06/1996):
* User Interface improved once more! Now menus are finally mouse driven!
* Program is now more stable.
* Window UI is now fully synchronized with mouse.
Version 0.13ß Release A (11/13/1996):
* NSSI now can distinguish between Sound Blaster 16 Value Edition and Sound
Blaster 16 Vibra when Chytristics is enabled.
* VESA version of VESA-Compatible SVGA cards is now displayed more exactly.
* AMD Am486DX5/133MHz CPU was renamed to its true name: AMD Am5x86-P75 and
its detection is now more reliable.
+ Added detection of IBM 6x86 CPUs. (NSSI displays "IBM/Cyrix 6x86 ..."
because these two processors are identical - Cyrix has designed it only,
IBM manufactures it and sells as IBM 6x86, but Cyrix sells part of this
production as Cyrix 6x86.)
- Digital and Music Test is now removed from Multimedia Details window.
I decided not to include these features into my SysInfo, because:
∙ it were'nt so reliable & stable as I expect (not programmed by me ;-)
∙ testing is a matter of diagnostic program - these tests will be a part
of Navrátil Software Diagnostics
* NSSI.EXE is now smaller due to removed Digital/Music Test playback
routines and improved self-compression.
* Memory requirements of NSSI are now smaller too for same reason as above.
* Self-check is now slightly faster.
Version 0.14ß Release A (12/06/1996):

* fixed bugs in detection of AMD Am486DX4 100/120 MHz
and AMD Am5x86-P75 CPUs
+ NSSI now detects Intel Pentium Pro processor.
* IBM OS/2 3.0 Warp is now detected correctly.
+ NSSI now detects OS/2 4.0 Merlin.
+ Processor mode is displayed (Real/V86 mode).
* Program's safety is now significantly increased.
* Fixed bug in co-processor emulation detection.
- Removed 'CZ' switch.
+ Added 'XG-' switch which prevents NSSI to use eXtended Graphics even
on EGA/VGA videosystems.
