[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Find CPU type

arasmith@mathcs.emory.edu (David Arasmith) (10/05/90)

I have a fairly pressing need to learn how to determine CPU type from
inside a C program.  I can look at the equipment list etc. to find all
kinds of other hardware in the box but I have NOT been able to find a
good (or not so good) method for CPU detection.

I would greatly appreciate some assistance: pointers, code fragments,
amusing anecdotes.

Email or posting, whatever you feel like (I will get to email faster).

Thanks
