This system shared library identifies your system and several IDs and
returns them in a human readable form. Currently implemented are:

expansions  The manufacturer and product ID of hardware expansions are
            translated into manufacturer name, board name and board
            class.

system      Your system is analyzed by identify.library. You can query
            static values, as e. g. Amiga model, Processor, OS version,
            Graphic OS (e. g. CyberGraphX), Audio OS (e. g. AHI) or
            available memory (Virtual Memory is also supported).

alerts      The cryptical alert codes can also be translated.

functions   Decodes the offset of a shared library into it's function
            name, provided you have got the .fd files.


Three example Shell tools are also included:

ListExp     Analyses your system, searches for expansion boards and
            optionally, shows what Commodities are available. This is
            an easy way to describe your system for bug reports etc.

Guru        Decodes a Guru number.

Function    Returns the name of the function that matches to the
            provided library name and offset.



 FEATURES:
-----------
  - Expansion database consists of more than 370 expansion boards and
    120 manufacturers.
  - Distinguishes between most GVP and Phase5 boards with unique ID
  - Tries to give at least a hint if the board name is not known yet
  - Fully DraCo compatible
  - The library is fully localized (catalogs included: deutsch)
  - ARexx interface library
  - English and German documentation (.guide and .dvi)


 INCLUDED DEVELOPER FILES:
---------------------------
  - AutoDocs
  - Assembler include files
  - C header files (also protos, pragmas, GCC inlines)
  - PASCAL include files
  - Amiga-E include files
  - FD file
  - cd file for language translations
  - C example showing how to use identify with MUI
  - ARexx examples


 NEW IN THIS RELEASE:
----------------------
  - more new boards
  - even more new system tests
  - hardware calls also returns numbers on request, so you can more
    easily handle them for comparing etc.
  - rexxidentify.library for using Identify with ARexx


With your help, I hope to get as much expansion names as possible.
So please send the name, manufacturer ID, product ID and board class
of all your expansions to: "shred@chessy.aworld.de". You can
get the IDs by using SysConfig, the included tool ListExp or the
example program "expansions".   Thank you!


 NOTE:      This is the ExpName archive, which has been completely
-------     rewritten and improved. So it was renamed to Identify. :-)


Freeware, binary only.
