- Sysup 1.02
- (c) Silli Software
-
-
-
- Purpose of this program:
- Sysup is a utility that tells one how long Windows and DOS
- have been running. Thus, it is very useful for network
- sysops and laptop users. This program is a hybrid. It is
- both a DOS program and a Windows program all in one. Thus,
- one can run the same program from the DOS command line and
- from Windows.
-
- System Required:
- Windows 3 and at least a 286 to use the Windows portion.
- The DOS portion should work on other machines as well.
-
- Setup:
- 1) Copy Sysup to a directory on your hard drive. The
- directory must be on your path.
- 2) Place the following line in your autoexec.bat file:
- [DRIVE]:\[PATH]]SYSUP /I
- Obviously the above [DRIVE] and [PATH] are the drive and
- path where you have located Sysup. This line should be as
- near to the end of the file as possible. However, it
- should be before "win" or your menu program. {This line
- must be in your autoexec.bat or the program will not be able
- to calculate how long DOS has been running}
- 3) Now type "sysup /i". {Without the quotes obviously} This
- will create a file called sysup.ini which must reside in the
- same directory as sysup.exe.
- 4) Reboot your computer.
-
- Usage:
- Command line:
- sysup [switch]
- i - This initializes Sysup by recording the time that
- the system comes on line.
- r - Use this switch when you register the program.
- h - Shows the various switches. {i.e. help switches}
- Typing Sysup by itself will show the system up time.
-
- Windows:
- Close: Self evident.
- Options: Bring to Front*: Use this to toggle whether
- to bring Sysup to the top
- of your desktop.
- Show System Up Time*: Toggle whether or not
- the system up time is shown
- as well as the Windows up
- time.
- Help: Self evident.
-
-
- *: These settings are remembered even after the program is terminated.
-
- Warranties:
- Absolutely none, this program is provided as is.
-
- Licensing and other issues:
- This program may be freely distributed in unmodified form,
- and with all its adjunct files intact. In addition, it may
- not be sold except for a nominal copying fee not to exceed
- $5.
-
- If you wish to register this program use the registration
- form at the end of this document. Send $5 cash, check or
- money order to:
- Paul Magid
- 2330 Blake St #9
- Berkeley Ca 94704
- You will receive a registration number, and for an
- additional $4 you can get the latest version of Sysup. If
- you wish to negotiate a site license write to the above
- address, or if you have Internet access to
- "magid@ocf.berkeley.edu".
- All aspects of this offer are subject to change without
- notice.
-
- A Hint:
- If you register now you will get to use the program for $5.
- This will go up as improvements are made to the program. I
- threatened a nag screen in version 0.5 and I have now
- implemented it. So, the people who did register got the
- latest program for free, and don't have to bother with the
- nag screen.
-
- History:
- 0.5▀: First release, great things lie ahead.
- 0.6▀: Minor maintenance release. [Next release will
- probably be 1.0 with many more features]
- 1.0: Sysup is now a hybrid. It reports how long the
- system has been running as well as how long
- Windows has been running. {It can also stay
- on top now}
- 1.01: Squelched an esoteric bug in the time calculation
- algorithm.
- 1.02: I could not leave Sysup as it was. The "bring to
- front" / "stay on top" function is now much
- improved. (i.e. the annoying flicker is
- gone). I have added check marks to options
- that have been selected. This makes things
- clearer. Misc. bugs squelched.
- 2.0: Possibly a tsr of sorts that somehow uses umbs or
- xms maybe. However, this all depends on the
- registration response to this release. So,
- make all the effort I have put into this
- program worth my while. But then maybe not,
- since I am unwilling to put in the effort
- because of the response, or lack thereof, to
- my request for registrations and feedback.
