STATUS.PRG

STATUS  is  a  very simple demonstration of how  to  call
STAT.OBJ  from  CLIPPER  5.x to obtain  some  information
about  your  PC.   STATUS  is a cut  down  version  of  a
hardware logging project I started that got canned.   The
idea  was  very simple: log machine stats to  a  DBF  and
check  them each time the PC was re-booted.  If  anything
had  changed (disks, printer ports, comms ports,  or  the
BIOS  (i.e.  the  PC)) then log it as an incident  to  be
followed up or used during help desk calls.

It  should be self explanatory but if not, contact me via
CompuServe and I will enlighten you !!  Please not that a
C callable version is also available.

thinking' . . . those without an asterisk !!
