Short: Make `SetUp' Global Enviroment Variables Author: John White Uploader: John White Version: 3.0 Type: util/misc Date: JULY 2001 GEV_SetUp V3.00 is a program that will be of use to anyone wanting to check up on certain Amiga specifications, prefably at boot up time. GEV_SetUp creates Global Enviroment Variables (GEVs) which are put into your ENV: drawer (usually in - RAM:Env). Technical: GEVs, put simply, are just files with text in them. The filename is the Variable and the text is the variable's Value. The created GEVs so far include: * Kickstart Version and Revision numbers. * Active Information (Are IPrefs, WB, RAD and ConClip active?). * Boot-Menu/General Information (What Chip-Mode is the Amiga in? What Chips are installed? What Mode is the TV/Monitor in? etc). * Most, if not all, of the internal Device and Library Version and Revision numbers. * Disk Drives Information (Is DF0: DF1: DF2: DF3: connected? What are their Filenames, How many KB/Bytes are available on a disk, etc). * Memory Information (How much FAST, CHIP or ANY memory is available). * Printer Information (Is a parallel Printer connected? If so, is it ready for use?). Read the GEV_SetUp.Guide for full details. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1085 437 59.7% 02-Sep-92 15:49:56 +ASE_Example 1312 708 46.0% 02-Sep-92 16:05:04 +GEV.readme 18168 8748 51.8% 02-Sep-92 15:32:38 +GEV_SetUp 65367 13451 79.4% 02-Sep-92 15:56:38 +GEV_SetUp.Guide 1470 418 71.5% 02-Sep-92 15:30:46 +GEV_SetUp.Guide.info 1766 568 67.8% 02-Sep-92 15:35:22 +GEV_SetUp.info 1834 752 58.9% 02-Sep-92 15:48:38 +startup-sequence -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 91002 25082 72.4% 08-Jul-101 09:19:10 7 files
