"SYSTEM SPECS" BY ANDREW ELLENBERGER
SAVES AUTOEXEC, CONFIG.SYS, TREE & DIRECTORY OF
HARD DRIVES C: & D: FOR LATTER EVALUATION OR REVIEW
This is a manual for SPECSYS.COM (Written for Boulder Community
Hospital 10-26-91 by Andrew Ellenberger Information Systems).
TO RUN:
YOU MUST ENTER TWO PARAMETERS:
1. ANY THREE LETTERS FOR THE FILE EXTENSION
2. A DRIVE\Path DESTINATION SUCH AS A: OR B:\SPECS\ -INCLUDE SLASHES!
EXAMPLE:
SPECSYS XXX A:\SPECS\ (Where xxx can be any letters you want
for the file extension such as a Dept. ID.)
(A:\SPECS\ can be any valid drive and or path.)
WHEN FINISHED:
YOU WILL HAVE 10 OR SO NEW FILES IN THE DRIVE\DIRECTORY THAT YOU SPECIFIED
ON THE COMMAND LINE.
The files should include some or all of the files listed below.
1. auto.xxx A copy of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
2. cdir.xxx Directory listing of C:\.
3. chkc.xxx The results of a checkdisk C: /F.
4. chkd.xxx The results of a checkdisk D: /F.
5. config.xxx A copy of the CONFIG.SYS file.
6. ctree.xxx A tree listing of the C: drive complete with filenames.
7. ddir.xxx Directory listing of D:\.
8. dtree.xxx A tree listing of the D: drive complete with filenames.
9. path.xxx Current path setting.
10. ver.xxx Version of DOS being used.
The purpose of this program is two-fold:
1. To give consultants a chance to get a "picture" of the set-up
of a P.C. that they may be making menus for or otherwise working
with. To this effect the tree files also list all filenames in
all sub-directories.
2. To give I.S. managers a useful tool for scopeing out systems
for various reasons including:
a. Reviewing system files before a Software Audit to
check that all program files on the system are valid
licenced copies.
b. Preserving the system set ups of the Autoexec.bat and the
Config.sys. In case of hard disk failure and or back-up
failure.
To check for valid program copies simply compare the list
of programs that are licenced for the system against the
files CTREE.XXX and DTREE.XXX. Paying special attention to
the *.COM and *.EXE files. CTREE.XXX and the others can be
printed out with a ( COPY "filename" PRN ) command.
LIMITS OF THE PROGRAM:
So far specsys.com checks only the c: & d: hard drives.
Support can be added for other drives if needed by
contacting me at the number below.
This program does not check for system Ram or Chips or
any other hardware related setup. There are plenty of
utilities out there for doing just that.
This program may not work well in a graphic or Windows
environment, but can be modified to report the contents
of the *.INI files.
This program is Freeware and offered "As Is" with no
warranty expressed or implied, or guaranty made as to
suitability for a specific purpose.
A fee may be charged if a modification is desired.
For support call (303)938-8903 6am to 6pm. Same number goes
"BBS" after 8pm. You are welcome to call or leave a message on
the board at your convenience.
Happy Typping!
Andy
