278 microns per pixel eh? Of course I knew that!
Profile 2, programmed by Mark Baines/Linnhe Computing, has matured into
a professional, fully featured GEM program complete with detailed
hypertext manual in ST-Guide format.
If you have ever wondered if your present set-up is using the correct
ASSIGN.SYS or DESKTOP.INF file, which environmental variables are
actually installed, whether your processor is running at full speed or
how many cookies are in the cookie jar Profile 2 is the tool to give you
the answers. The comprehensive diagnosis stretches to over thirty
printed A4 pages!
Profile 2 doesn't just report the details of your system it tries to
interpret them into useful information. For example, Profile 2 will tell
you which cookies belongs to which programs and attempt to determine
which screen accelerator is installed. All the "techie" information is
just a click away; exception vectors, system variables, program
basepages, AES/VDI data, whether or not a floppy disk has an executable
boot sector and so on.
I found it fascinating to browse through all the information about my
system. The unregistered version is save disabled, once registered the
results can be output as single pages, a range of pages, saved to disk
or pasted to the clipboard. Registration costs a minimum of œ5 for a key
by email and œ6 if you'd like a disk containing a selection of other
software by Linnhe Computing - including Mark's excellent selection of
CPX's.
