    55So, SysInfo/2 developer try to perform a hard work - write a complete set of OS/2 PM system utilities that will be complete enough to compare with well-known Symantec Norton Utilities for Windows 95/NT. This set will include not only System Information tool, but also SpeedDisk, DiskDoctor, etc. But this is a future.

    88Well, lets start from the beginning. After doing a SystemInfo utility, you may think that you can understand a use ~75% of OS/2 system API. Also you will got a lot of experience in using your compiler, so all next projects will be finished a little bit faster.

    1414So, using SysInfo/2 you may get a complete set of hardware and software information. Also you can detect all your PCI cards, even if they are not detected and not in use by OS/2 system.

    2424All benchmarks are placed into *.DLL modules. All useful and common functions were also placed into SIRNTIME.DLL. So, you you must place them into SysInfo/2 working directory. Do not copy them to X:\OS2\DLL or somewhere in your LIBPATH. You can collect some old copies there and SysInfo/2 may crash due to it.

    2828Our CPU identification code doesn't work with older Cyrix CPU (prior 6x86MX) due to a strange CPU reaction to CPUID command. A pre-6x86MX CPU claims it can execute this command, but it is turned off by the BIOS.
