1.Introduction
Are you tired of always having troubles with finding your pen and paper just
to write down the last guru you got. Now this problem is solved because I
have written a small and quick program that will show the last alert or guru
there have been. If you don't get the point of what this program can be used
to then try to read the rest of this user manual.
2.Disclaimer
The author is in no way liable for any changes made to any part of the
package, or consequences thereof as he is in no way liable for damages
or loss of data directly or indirectly caused by this software.
3.Installation
The program can be installed anywhere you want, but please read chapter 4 if
you want my opinion where LastAlert2 would have it's best place.
4.Usage
The program can either be started from Workbench (just click the icon) or
from CLI/Shell with the command:
path/LastAlert2 (Any arguments parsed to LastAlert2 will be ignored.)
If there is no reaction it is because there have to be a guru before the
the requester will pop up and show something like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
| | LastAlert 2.1 ( Jørgen Da Larsen - Posse Pro. DK © ) | |
-------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Alert Number : 0x80000005 |
| Alert Task : 0x0800DDE8 |
| Alert Name : ACPUG_DivZero |
| Spec. Alert : Hardware/CPU |
| Spec. Error : Divide by zero |
| |
-------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| About Okay |
| |
-------------------------------------------------------------
My suggestion to make LastAlert2 as efficient as possible will be to place
LastAlert2 in the WBStartup drawer because then you will get information of
the last guru if there has been one.
If you follow my suggestion you will be free from troubles like where's my
pen and I am out of paper every time a guru pops up.

I cannot find any (more) bugs in LastAlert2 but i am sure you can. (:
Please write to me if you find a bug in LastAlert2.
Note: If you have Enforcer active while running LastAlert2 you
will get a 'Enforcer Hit' because LastAlert2 makes a LONG-READ
at $100 ( This is no BUG :) ).
