SHOWME Version 2.2
Copyright 1990, Crown Software Corporation

SHOWME is a utility for corporate PC managers and users.  It is designed to 
give a quick overview of the equipment installed on a machine without having
to open the box, analyze the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and otherwise
spend lots of time trying to determine what's what.

Of course, the results reported are only as good as the software loaded.  Thus,
SHOWME will not report a mouse unless a mouse driver is loaded, nor will it 
report EMS (expanded) memory if no driver is present.

Questions may be directed to Steven Stern via Compuserve electronic mail at
user id 70327,135.

Since SHOWME puts out more than one screenful of information, the best
way to run it is to either pipe to output to MORE or redirect it to the
printer:

   1.  Pipe the output to MORE:
   
       SHOWME | MORE
       
   2.  Redirect the output to the printer:
   
       SHOWME > PRN
       
Below is a sample of SHOWME's output and the source of the information
displayed.
