REVISION HISTORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.1.4 (Feb 27, 1996)
====================
 - Credit cards  VISA, Diners Club, American Express  accepted! Eurocard/
   Mastercard soon  so, ask! (or look at my WWW page).
 - More info about Quarterdeck's QEMM; also, corrected display of memory
   sizes in the DPMI list.
 - A few adaptions to Windows 95:
   - Application title of the DOS window (second part of it) changed.
   - agSI made "close-aware", i.e. you can close it from the window's system
     menu or with the close button in the upper right corner (unless a dia-
     log window in agSI is open). [seems to be not working sometimes...]
   - File date corrected and Compressed attribute added in directory list
     (i.e. dir tree sub-lists).
   - Open files and...
   - Drive Map Info for each logical drive.
 - Other improvements/fixes:
   - At some places with physical drives, the cylinder number was one to low
     (i.e. only the maximum number, not the total number).
   - For changeable hard drives, Logical Drive Overview caused errors when
     no media was inserted.
   - PCI BIOS detection changed slightly because it wasn't detected on some
     systems [hope it works now].
   - More names for PCI vendors and devices: now 447 and 446, respectively
     (was 296/166).


1.1.3 (Dec 18, 1995)
====================
 - As announced in v1.1.2, the registration fee has been increased: to US$23
   (DM 30). Credit cards (American Express, VISA, Diners Club) will be ac-
   cepted soon, so ask me if you can use them for payment! (Mastercard/Euro-
   card not before March 96)
 - Added a start-up screen which displays what is tested next, somewhat like
   the /DX command line switch (but /DX shows more).
 - General Overview with 16 lines of info; shown (by default) automatically
   when agSI is started.
 - IDE drive info moved to a separate sub-menu, thus avoiding the need to
   set the IDEDriveMapping INI setting; also, added info for ATAPI devices
   (such as CD-ROMs).
 - Video card detection improved dramatically: now implemented using Finn
   Thoegersen's VGADOC4, which detects much more than my own old routine.
 - More information from Quarterdeck's QEMM-386 and Helix's NetRoom memory
   managers.
 - Bugs fixed, and other new stuff:
   - Linux DOSEMU test has been made safer for systems that crashed here
     (outside Linux); you can remove the Disable=OOSL line from the INI file
     if you added it.
   - Both modem info for non-modem devices, and ASPI info about a pseudo-
     ASPI drive under Windows 95 (ATAPI CD-ROM; at least on my system) could
     have caused an endless loop; now fixed.
   - Newer CPUs like Pentiums that were detected as Intel or C&T 386 DX/SX
     under Windows or OS/2 should be displayed correctly now.
   - NexGen Nx586 CPUs should now be detected.
   - Plug and Play BIOS info (product ID, attributes sub-list) corrected.
   - Ontrack DiskManager detected (per physical drive).

=============================================================================

(more details can be found in the online help)

1.1.2 (Oct 8, 1995)
===================
 - NOTE: I'm considering to increase the registration fee in the next
   release so if you register NOW you'll save money!
 - Windows Services now has a window.
 - Plug and Play-Info (via PnP-BIOS or ConfigManager software).
 - BIOS and 2nd level cache detection routines slightly improved 
   especially the L2 cache wasn't detected on all systems; hope it's
   better now...
 - glossary added, taken from Ralf Brown's Interrupt List
 - Some other new info items: modem info; Linux DOSEMU; CMOS details for
   AMI WinBIOS, Phoenix, PS/2; details for PCI device info; MegaFLOPS
   benchmark.
 - Other minor changes: dir tree scanning may be aborted; mouse driver
   acceleration profiles corrected; one-floppy-systems without B: in menu;
   "invisible" HD/CD benchmarks after scrolling; work-around for WfW3.11
   LoadLibrary bug.

1.1.1 (June 21, 1995)
=====================
 - Certain information items may now be disabled (by editing the INI file).
 - A much too long neglected item has been added: SCSI devices via ASPI
 - Also, I tried to add information about networks (NetBIOS)
 - agSI\WinServ has now also a command line switch (/DW) for debug mode.
 - The /D debug switch for AGSI.EXE now also shows the current test for
   some functions (including Software/Others, OS/Windows/VxDs).
 - IDE Info: changed a little in accordance to the ATA-2 and -3 Speci-
   fications; enabled under Windows; Drive mapping may be specified in INI.
 - Sub-lists are now scrollable. (Was needed for the next item:)
 - The directory tree sub-lists show now optionally a list of the files
   in the directory; also long filenames under Win'95, 4DOS descriptions.
 - Some other new info items: more APM details; DR-DOS/Novell DOS system
   variables, and a little more at DPMS; HMA for Novell DOS, MS-DOS 7;
   WinServ: tasks, modules, number of global heap objects; Protected Mode
   interrupt vectors
 - a few jokes ;-)
 - Other minor changes: Change of focus between menu and info window indi-
   cated by color change; CPU cache size; Alt-U in PM list now ok; Sound-
   Blaster IRQ; EMS; S3 VESA modes; SETVER; memory speed.

1.1.0 (April 25, 1995)
======================
 - ! Windows program "agSI\WinServ" which starts agSI under Windows
   and offers some additional information about parts of Windows!
 - list installed PCI devices
 - memory dump window to browse through the first MB of your memory
 - CD-ROM Primary Volume Descriptor
 - CD-ROM benchmark (transfer rate and access timing)
 - Protected Mode functions (using DPMI): DPMI info, Windows VxDs.
   IMPORTANT: Switch it off in Options dialog or with command line switch
   /R in case of system crash (o.k. with Novell DOS or Windows 3.x/95)
   [MORE IMPORTANT: Don't select [Update]!] - has been fixed in 1.1.1
 - Command line switch /DX shows what's done at startup (useful if agSI
   hangs before the main screen comes up)
 - World Wide Web page for agSI!
 - Floppy disk orders outside Europe additional US$4/DM5 fee
 - minor things: SoundBlaster IRQ and Mixer (may be changed); more IDE
   info; CPU detection improved; DRAM refresh interval; printing to auto-
   matically numbered files; directory tree sorted; can empty Windows
   clipboard; help page with questions and answers

1.0.1 (Jan 24, 1995):
=====================
  - Added IDE drive info.
  - CMOS list for Award BIOS.
  - Corrected some bugs.
  (See online help for details)

1.0.0 (Dec 18, 1994):
=====================
  first public release version.
