PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS:
This program will quickly determine information about the computer it is
run on. This program will function well on 8086s up to 80486s.
To execute the program, simply type:
CHECKME.EXE
from within the directory that the program is installed.
The accompanying file "VAL.DAT" contains information about dollar values
of computers. If this file is in the same directory, a dollar value
will be displayed as determined by the program.
Information displayed about the computer:

This program is intended for use by people planning to buy computers or
by retailers wishing to check out the value of a trade in a computer.
Note that the values given by the program can be severely altered by
config.sys or autoexec.bat settings (specifically memory managers and
disk cache programs). THIS PROGRAM SHOULD GIVE ACCURATE VALUES IF BOOTED
FROM A FLOPPY.
* CMOS settings can reduce the speed of a processor as can the Turbo switch.
Be sure that the computer is not de-tuned by either of these when running
the program or false information can be displayed.
Register this software and receive the latest update that does not delay
5 seconds before running as well as an editor for VAL.DAT.
So please, dive in and enjoy the fun of legally sharing good software
with your friends and associates. But also be aware of the following
restrictions, designed to protect the community of User Supported
software users and authors, and to prevent greedy people from taking
unfair advantage of the trust, hard work, and good will of User
Supported software authors:
1. No price or consideration may be charged. However, a distribution
cost may be charged for the cost of the diskettes, shipping, and
handling, not to exceed $15.00 total.
2. The files and programs on the disks may not be modified, deleted,
nor added to.
3. The programs cannot be sold as part of some other more inclusive
package.
4. The programs cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
5. The Author retains all rights to the CheckMe programs.
6. The programs cannot be used commercially without registration.
REGISTRATION
To receive the Value Editor and latest version of CHECKME.EXE (without the
5 second startup delay), simply send in the registration form on the next page
with a check or money order for $15.00. This exact form is not necessary.

from any losses, unfortunate consequences, failures or inadequacies resulting
in the direct or, indirect application or, misapplication of this software.
REWARD
Free registration for information leading to improvement of this program as
far as:
1) detecting SX vs DX on 386/486 processors (16/32 bit external bus).
2) detecting new processors (Pentium, R4400, Alpha, or Power PC).
3) detecting floppy disk parameters (heads, tracks, sectors/track) on 8086.
4) NT & Unix Hard Disk Partition System Identifiers.
To receive the reward, send in your check or money order for the regular
registration fee. If your information proves to be correct, your registration
fee will be returned with your new software.
