- Short: Easy bug reports (users & programmers)
- Author: James L Boyd
- Uploader: jamesboyd@all-hail.freeserve.co.uk
- Type: dev/misc
- Version: 1.0
-
- Description :
- -------------
-
- This small tool (7336 bytes) simply generates a quick system analysis
- as a text file (also displays in CLI for user).
-
- Why?
- ----
-
- The idea is that users can quickly and easily give programmers a
- run-down of their setup without having to type everything in, plus
- everything's in a clear, concise format, taken directly from the
- system. The user just has to run it and attach the output to an
- email.
-
- Also, because it's so small (and Public Domain), programmers can just
- throw it in their archives to make things easier for themselves, by
- just having users attach the output to their emailed bug reports, saving
- time and hassle (as well as getting the correct information from less
- knowledgeable users). Note that you don't have to include anything but
- SysRep itself in your archive.
-
- Usage :
- -------
-
- SysRep <optional output filename>
-
- Just typing SysRep automatically outputs to RAM:SysRep.txt, but you'll
- be told anyway.
-
- Developers : just tell the user to run SysRep and attach the output
- to an email.
-
- Example output (direct from my crappy ol' system) :
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- SysRep 1.0 output :
-
- WB screenmode : PAL:High Res
- WB size : 640 x 256
- WB depth : 6-bit (64)
- WB font : XEN (8)
- WB locale : english
-
- Kickstart : 40.63
- Workbench : 39.29
-
- Chipset : AGA
- CPU : 68030
- FPU : No FPU
-
- Of course, plenty more could be listed, but the idea's to keep
- it small for unobtrusive inclusion into others' archives. Anything
- you think SHOULD be in there (library lists, other public screen
- information, etc), just let me know!
-
- If anyone REALLY wants it to run from Workbench, just say so ;)
