- DESCRIPTION
-
- This patch enhances your workbench-tool ShowConfig.
-
- The patched ShowConfig will be able to use system shared libraries
- to decode the manufacturer- and product ID of expansion boards,
- so you can see what boards you have, just in case you forgot it.
-
- Supported libraries at the moment are the boards.library 1.0 and
- the expname.library 1.6 which do similar things and are available
- on aminet or other software-collections.
-
- USAGE
-
- You can use the patched ShowConfigEnh as you used ShowConfig before.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- You MUST use the supplied Install-script to enhance ShowConfig.
- Just follow the instructions there. Your old ShowConfig will
- NOT be overwritten.
-
- NOTE
-
- The required 'Installer' tool is NOT included. You can find it on
- your Workbench 'Install' disk, on aminet in 'util/misc/Installer*'
- or on various CDs. Copy it to 'SYS:Utilities' or anywhere else,
- where workbench can find it.
-
- Do NOT use the new Installer 42.5 (supplied with the Amiga-Surfer)
- because it contains at least one serious bug and can not calculate
- required checksums for this installation.
-
- PROGRAMMERs NOTE
-
- The docs for boards.library are wrong. They say that the result would
- be 'True if both manufacturer and product are known. False if one of
- them are not known.' but it is the other way round. That could also
- be a library-bug, but who knows...
