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.
|
|||

|
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
|
