Introduction

My first huge programming project. It´s a Unit for Borland Pascal that aims to detect any piece of information it can about a computer.
I coded on it on and off for over a year and lost interest afterwards. (more specifically : When I realized that there was no possibility of extending the 64k Data Segment in Realmode, I did not want to go on with it anymore ...).
While the code is now ancient, it was a nice project to do. You learn a lot trying to keep something with close to 45000 lines of code organized. It´s in German, I was not very fluent in English back then (I was 14 when I started this project). There are a lot of memories tied to this piece of code ..

As said, this thing is ancient. It requires DOS (it would surprise me if it worked well under any win32 environment or even DOSEmu), works best in actual Real Mode (especially the processor detection), and is written in Borland Pascal 7, which is not exactly fresh, either.
It´s in this page primarily for nostalgic reasons :)

Should you not have an ARJ decompressor, you can view the contents of that file right here; Please note that it uses the DOS ASCII table resulting in garbled display on windows systems.
Consider thyself warned :)



On the off chance that you appreciate my work and would like to support me as well, please consider sending me a buck or two ... It doesn´t have to be much; I´m happy with anything that helps offset my online-costs even a little; of course you will be mentioned here, if so desired
