Hello All

and welcome to the list.

I have been programming in Euphoria for a month or so.  I am writing
a program that will install network software.  This is my first
major DOS project:  I am normally a mainframer.

I would like to collect a bit of info about the DOS machines:  I can get
the DOS version, hard drive size, amount of conventional memory
by using interrupts.  From contents on the hard drive I can determine the
existence of Win31.  I can not find anyway to determine

  extended memory size     (I can trap the output of the MEM command
                            but that assumes the existence of the MEM
                            command.  The format of the output from MEM
                            changes from one DOS release to another.)

  Processor                (I can use P.D. SNIFF, I'd like to get it
                            directly from inside euphoria)

  processor speed          (I don't have anyway to get this)

  Manufacturer

  Model

Thanks for any ideas,
