!CheckCMOS
----------
This application is designed to give you (the user) back the control
of your CMOS ram.
The application should be called from your bootup, but can be tried
out just by running it.
INSTALLATION
The first time it is run, the program will take a copy of your CMOS
values. It will assume that your machine is configured as you like
it.
AFTERWARDS
Then whenever it is run afterwards it compares the CMOS values it
saved against those in CMOS. If they are the same then the
application terminates and is never seen. If the CMOS differs the
application informs you in an alert type window what changes have
occured. And gives you three options.
CONTINUE If you don't mind that the CMOS has changed of want
it set like this for the session
SAVE If you prefer the settings now to those saved before
This overrides those saved on Initialization
(If the copy you recieved is from another machine and
not an origional you may have to save the first time)
RESET This puts all the stored preferences back and if required
waits till the machine is reset
MENU
When the program finds a difference in the CMOS values to those you store
as your preferences, a window opens and displays them. Some settings are
possibly not of interest to you if you do not have the hardware or run
the software that they refer to. A menu has been provided so that you
can customize it a small amount.
INFO This gives information about the program and author
IGNORE This sub-menu allows you to selectively disable the checks
and alerts of some CMOS values. SAVE and RESET above
still store/modify ALL CMOS BYTES
SAVE OPTIONS This saves which items you prefer to be ignored.
