Sysup 1.02
(c) Silli Software
Purpose of this program:
Sysup is a utility that tells one how long Windows and DOS
have been running. Thus, it is very useful for network
sysops and laptop users. This program is a hybrid. It is
both a DOS program and a Windows program all in one. Thus,
one can run the same program from the DOS command line and
from Windows.
System Required:
Windows 3 and at least a 286 to use the Windows portion.
The DOS portion should work on other machines as well.
Setup:
1) Copy Sysup to a directory on your hard drive. The
directory must be on your path.
2) Place the following line in your autoexec.bat file:
[DRIVE]:\[PATH]]SYSUP /I
Obviously the above [DRIVE] and [PATH] are the drive and
path where you have located Sysup. This line should be as
near to the end of the file as possible. However, it
should be before "win" or your menu program. {This line
must be in your autoexec.bat or the program will not be able
to calculate how long DOS has been running}
3) Now type "sysup /i". {Without the quotes obviously} This
will create a file called sysup.ini which must reside in the
same directory as sysup.exe.
4) Reboot your computer.
Usage:
Command line:
sysup [switch]
i - This initializes Sysup by recording the time that
the system comes on line.
r - Use this switch when you register the program.
h - Shows the various switches. {i.e. help switches}
Typing Sysup by itself will show the system up time.
Windows:
Close: Self evident.
Options: Bring to Front*: Use this to toggle whether
to bring Sysup to the top
of your desktop.
Show System Up Time*: Toggle whether or not
the system up time is shown
as well as the Windows up
time.
Help: Self evident.
*: These settings are remembered even after the program is terminated.
Warranties:
Absolutely none, this program is provided as is.
Licensing and other issues:
This program may be freely distributed in unmodified form,
and with all its adjunct files intact. In addition, it may
not be sold except for a nominal copying fee not to exceed
$5.
If you wish to register this program use the registration
form at the end of this document. Send $5 cash, check or
money order to:

You will receive a registration number, and for an
additional $4 you can get the latest version of Sysup. If
you wish to negotiate a site license write to the above
address, or if you have Internet access to
"magid@ocf.berkeley.edu".
All aspects of this offer are subject to change without
notice.
A Hint:
If you register now you will get to use the program for $5.
This will go up as improvements are made to the program. I
threatened a nag screen in version 0.5 and I have now
implemented it. So, the people who did register got the
latest program for free, and don't have to bother with the
nag screen.
History:
0.5▀: First release, great things lie ahead.
0.6▀: Minor maintenance release. [Next release will
probably be 1.0 with many more features]
1.0: Sysup is now a hybrid. It reports how long the
system has been running as well as how long
Windows has been running. {It can also stay
on top now}
1.01: Squelched an esoteric bug in the time calculation
algorithm.
1.02: I could not leave Sysup as it was. The "bring to
front" / "stay on top" function is now much
improved. (i.e. the annoying flicker is
gone). I have added check marks to options
that have been selected. This makes things
clearer. Misc. bugs squelched.
2.0: Possibly a tsr of sorts that somehow uses umbs or
xms maybe. However, this all depends on the
registration response to this release. So,
make all the effort I have put into this
program worth my while. But then maybe not,
since I am unwilling to put in the effort
because of the response, or lack thereof, to
my request for registrations and feedback.
