I'm interested in Turbo Pascal routines which can detect
various facts about a computer's configuration. The kinds of
facts I'm interested in are these, taken from the screen of a
commercial program called CheckIt.
DOS Version: 3.30
ROM BIOS: Award BIOS Date: 04/30/87
Processor Type: 80286 AT Machine
Math Coprocessor: Not Present
Base Memory: 640K Available: 382K
Extended Memory: None
EXPANDed Memory: No EMS driver installed
Video Adapter: MDA
Video Address: B000h Video RAM Size: 4K
Hard Drive(s): Drive 0 (C:-D:) = 43M
Floppy Drive(s): A:1.2M(5,")
Clock/Calendar: CMOS Clock
Parallel Port(s): LPT1=378h
Serial Port(s): COM1=3F8h
Mouse: None Joystick(s): None
I'm familiar with Turbo's DOSVERSION and DISKSIZE functions, but
where I can I find public domain units or routines for some of
these other things? (I need to be able to incorporate the
routines into a program of my own.)awol@infopls.UUCP (Al Oomens) (11/10/90)

Thats correct. InfoPlus code is certainly worth your while. The said file is /pc/pd2/infop135.zip available by anonymous ftp or mail server from uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, or Simtel20 whichever is nearer you. Furthermore, /pc/ts/tsfaq12.arc contains a long list of Turbo Pascal references many of them having much information on this subject. ...................................................................
