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...
