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



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 supported now).

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 320 expansion boards and
    100 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
  - DraCo compatible
  - The library is fully localized (catalogs included: deutsch)
  - English and German documentation (.guide and .dvi)


 INCLUDED DEVELOPER FILES:
---------------------------
  - Assembler include files
  - C header files (also protos, pragmas, GCC inlines)
  - PASCAL include files
  - FD file
  - cd file for language translations
  - autodocs


 NEW IN THIS RELEASE:
----------------------
  - Picasso96 recognized before CGX
  - AudioOS checkings, Virtual Memory supported
  - 'Wrong A3000' problem should finally be fixed now
  - more new boards


With your help, I hope to get as much full 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 or the included tool ListExp.

Thank you!
