The Sysinfo program is a program that will enable the user to see their current 
system operating parameters. 

The user has two Program Options. 

Display 
     They can Display System Information. 

Exit 
     They can Exit the Sysinfo Program. 

Sysinfo is a Presentation Manager Utility that will display the current system 
operating parameters using the Notebook Control Style. Sysinfo will display the 
following: 

System 
     The user can see parameters that are concerned with the overall opertion 
     of the system. 

Memory 
     The user can see how the system memory is allocated. 

Timers 
     The user can see the current status of the system's Timers are.

═══ 7. Help for System Information ═══

 Each system variable is a doubleword value.  The following list  gives the 
ordinal index, name, and description of the system  variables. 

System Information 
        They can see the current settings. 

1.QSV_MAX_PATH_LENGTH 
     Maximum length, in bytes, of a path name. 

2.QSV_MAX_TEXT_SESSIONS 
     Maximum number of text sessions. 

3.QSV_MAX_PM_SESSIONS 
     Maximum number of PM sessions. 

4.QSV_MAX_VDM_SESSIONS 
     Maximum number of DOS sessions. 

5.QSV_BOOT_DRIVE 
     Drive from which the system was started (1 means drive A, 2 means drive B, 
     and so on). 

6.QSV_DYN_PRI_VARIATION 
     Dynamic priority variation flag (0 means absolute priority, 1 means 
     dynamic priority). 

7.QSV_MAX_WAIT 
     Maximum wait in seconds. 

8.QSV_MIN_SLICE 
     Minimum time slice in milliseconds. 

9.QSV_MAX_SLICE 
     Maximum time slice in milliseconds. 

10.QSV_PAGE_SIZE 
     Memory page size in bytes.  This value is 4096 for the 80386 processor. 

11.QSV_VERSION_MAJOR 
     Major version number. 

12.QSV_VERSION_MINOR 
     Minor version number. 

13.QSV_VERSION_REVISION 
     Revision letter. 

14.QSV_MS_COUNT 
     Value of a 32-bit, free-running millisecond counter. This value is zero 
     when the system is started. 

15.QSV_TIME_LOW 
     Low-order 32 bits of the time in seconds since January 1, 1970 at 0-00-00. 

16.QSV_TIME_HIGH 
     High-order 32 bits of the time in seconds since January 1, 1970 at 
     0-00-00. 

17.QSV_TOTPHYSMEM 
     Total number of pages of physical memory in the system. One page is 4KB. 

18.QSV_TOTRESMEM 
     Total number of pages of resident memory in the system. 

19.QSV_TOTAVAILMEM 
     Maximum number of pages of memory that can be allocated by all processes 
     in the system.  This number is advisory and is not guaranteed, since 
     system conditions change constantly. 

20.QSV_MAXPRMEM 
     Maximum number of bytes of memory that this process can allocate in its 
     private arena.  This number is advisory and is not guaranteed, since 
     system conditions change constantly. 

21.QSV_MAXSHMEM 
     Maximum number of bytes of memory that a process can allocate in the 
     shared arena.  This number is advisory and is not guaranteed, since system 
     conditions change constantly. 

22.QSV_TIMER_INTERVAL 
     Timer interval in tenths of a millisecond. 

23.QSV_MAX_COMP_LENGTH 
     Maximum length, in bytes, of one component in a path name. 

 An application can specify file objects managed by an  installable file system 
that supports long file names.  Because  some installable file systems support 
longer names than others,  the application should issue DosQuerySysInfo upon 
initialization. 

 DosQuerySysInfo returns the maximum path length  (QSV_MAX_PATH_LENGTH) 
supported by the installed file  system.  The path length includes the drive 
specifier (d), the  leading backslash ( \ ), and the trailing null character. 
The  value returned by DosQuerySysInfo can be used to allocate  buffers for 
path names returned by other functions, for example,  DosFindFirst and 
DosFindNext.
