Question: is it possible to identify in software the type of processor a program is running on (assuming MS-DOS here...)? I would like to know whether it's an 8088, 8086, 80188, 80186 or an 80286. If it is possible, how do I do it? \tom haapanen / watrose!tohaapanen university of waterloo ..!watmath <-- watmum!tohaapanen \ watlion!tohaapanen I am one in ten, a number on a list I am one in ten, even though I don't exist No-body knows me, though I'm always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care (c) UB40, 1981

It will even identify V20 and 30s. There is a complete article and source listing for the program. When you have a subscription I think you can also get programs by download from a BBS run by PC-Tech Journal. Mike Gingell ...decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!mjg
