- Short: Detect an UAE environment

-
- This small program demonstrates how to check,
- whether the surrounding system is an UAE/P96
- environment.
-
- It comes with source code and includes two
- routines, that you easily can integrate
- into your own programs (permisson hereby
- granted).
-
- Now you can for example abort your programs,
- when these are run by some incarnation of
- UAE, or maybe supply an additional information
- text like "better buy the real thing", or
- something else.
-
-
- How does it work ?
-
- It relies on the fact, that any modern Amiga
- and 68k emulation will only be fast, if it
- can make use of RTG - such as the recent
- implementation of Picasso96 for UAE.
-
- Thus identification can easily be done
- - a plain UAE, just emulating ECS, won't
- be recognized, though. Yet.
