- This file is a transcription of the DEBUG script printed in
- the February 11, 1992, issue of PC Magazine. The 'source'
- used to create this program is in 386STEP.SCR. DOS's
- DEBUG program was called using the command:
-
- DEBUG < 386STEP.SCR
-
- and 386STEP.COM was created. The 386STEP program will
- analyze your 386 processor and determine its step (i.e.
- revision) level. 386STEP runs under DOS.
-
- This information can be useful in determining how OS/2 2.0
- (and other protected mode and/or 32-bit programs)
- will behave on your system. OS/2 2.0 determines the step
- level of your 80386 and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
- For example, OS/2 2.0 will be unable to use an 80387 coprocessor,
- if present, with certain early 80386 chips because of a fault.
- This program can help determine whether a replacement 80386
- is warranted.

- Enjoy.
