Message-ID: Date: 21 Dec 90 12:41:10 GMT Organization: Phillip's Philosophy Shop, Nashville TN Lines: 30 Every month or so, it seems, I add another useful device driver to my config.sys file, either to test out new shareware optimization programs or to permanently reconfigure my PC. Many of these device drivers have status screens which report what options have been selected and other information about my DOS kernel environment. In addition, my 386sx, on boot-up, reports the condition of its CMOS ("Sea-Moss" ;-). Unfortunately, few, if any of these status reports allow even the fastest reader adequate time to peruse the plethora of useful information which they provide. What I am seeking, then, is some "more"-like utility which will allow me to PAUSE the execution of the config.sys file in order to examine the information provided by these programs. Is any such config.sys utility available? Free- or share-ware would be best, but I'd appreciate information on banditware (commercialware) as well. Please! I do not want to resort to buying a Polaroid camera and photographing the screen, but I will do so if I must. Surely, in this age of computer technology, there must be a better way.
