- DESCRIPTION
-
- This patch enhances your workbench-tool ShowConfig.
-
- The new patched ShowConfigEnh will be able to use 'expname.library'
- to decode the manufacturer- and product ID of expansion boards and
- does support more hardware (68060, Draco, ...), so you can see what
- boards and what computer you have, just in case you forgot it.
-
- You can choose between the (old) output in a CON window and the
- new output in an intuition-requester. It is necessary to install
- the support-tool ShowReq if you choose the requester. This will be
- done by the installer. If you ever move ShowConfigEnh to another
- drawer, make sure that you also move the ShowReq tool there, or
- you won't see anything if ShowConfigEnh is started from workbench.
-
- ShowConfigEnh requires the 'expname.library' v2+ which is INCLUDED
- in this archive. The 'expname.library' was written by Richard Koerber
- and the full archive incl. docs and developer-files is available on
- aminet as 'util/libs/ExpName*'.
-
- USAGE
-
- You can use the patched ShowConfigEnh as you used ShowConfig before.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- You MUST use the supplied Install-script to enhance ShowConfig.
- Just follow the instructions there. Your old ShowConfig will
- NOT be overwritten. Its icon will be copied (if one exists).
-
- NOTE
-
- The required 'Installer' tool is NOT included. You can find it on
- your Workbench 'Install' disk, on aminet in 'util/misc/Installer*'
- or on various CDs. Copy it to 'SYS:Utilities' or anywhere else,
- where workbench can find it.
-
- Do NOT use the new Installer 42.5 (supplied with the Amiga-Surfer)
- because it contains at least one serious bug and can not calculate
- required checksums for this installation.
-
- BUGS
-
- If you start the OS2.x or OS3.0 original ShowConfig command on an
- OS3.1 workbench with OS3.1 ROM, then there appear sometimes a few
- Enforcer-hits. ShowConfigEnh fixes some of these bugs, but of
- course there can be some left [ C-Code :-( ].
-
- In some cases the FPU is not correct or missing. This is caused by
- expname.library and will be fixed soon.
-
