In addition to this file you should have received:
386STEP.SCR
386STEP.COM
This file is a transcription of the DEBUG script printed in
the February 11, 1992, issue of PC Magazine. The 'source'
used to create this program is in 386STEP.SCR. DOS's
DEBUG program was called using the command:
DEBUG < 386STEP.SCR
and 386STEP.COM was created. The 386STEP program will
analyze your 386 processor and determine its step (i.e.
revision) level. 386STEP runs under DOS.
This information can be useful in determining how OS/2 2.0
(and other protected mode and/or 32-bit programs)
will behave on your system. OS/2 2.0 determines the step
level of your 80386 and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
For example, OS/2 2.0 will be unable to use an 80387 coprocessor,
if present, with certain early 80386 chips because of a fault.
This program can help determine whether a replacement 80386
is warranted.
For more details, please read the article in PC Magazine.
Enjoy.
