Someone might take a close look at VGAGRAB.  On a quick inspection I
could not make it grab, but I am afraid I don't have the time to do
any additional testing myself.

I'll just have to "dump" this into the same announcement even if
unlike the others it does not go to the /pc/turbopas directory.

pd1:<msdos.info>
IFP1P156.ZIP    21 pages of system information
IFP1S156.ZIP    Turbo Pascal code for IFP1P156

  Infoplus is a program that, like Microsoft MSD, or Quarterdeck Manifest,
displays various pages of information detailing various aspects of your
computer's hardware and resident software.

  Unlike the others, Infoplus details many resident drivers and programs,
such as Hyperdisk, Stacker, Microsoft Mouse, QEMM, and more. It also
recognizes many VGA chipsets, and details information about them.

Changes by Andrew Rossmann v1.56 (12/30/92)
All    : The AP command now accepts a filename for automatic output.
         Added an NP command switch. When specified, INFOPLUS will not
          attempt to read the partition table from the hard disk. This
          fixes a problem on some SCSI drives or controllers.
         Added an F command switch. This tell Infoplus to leave 16550
          FIFO's enabled.
         Reduced potential conflict with CBIS PowerLAN redirector when
          checking for the true DOS version (since DOS 5 can change it.)
         Reduced chances of false data being returned by some pages when
          running in an OS/2 DOS session.
Page 1 : Added detection of HP 95LX.
Page 3 : Unless Windows 3 enhanced mode is detected, will now check for
          both VCPI and DPMI.
Page 6 : VESA will try the next mode even if no information is returned
          from the current one. (Thanks to Joerg.Prust@gmd.de for finding
          this one.)
Page 7 : Added extra information about the mouse, primarily if you have
          Microsoft Mouse driver version 7.00 or newer, or compatible.
Page 8 : Changed the Serial Port detection method. Also, 16550 FIFO's
          are disabled unless the 'F' command is given on the command
          line.
         Modified the Sound Blaster detection to restore modified
          ports. Should fix 'lost mouse' problems.
         Added Gravis UltraSound detection. (untested)
Page 9 : If DOS 5 is detected, INFOPLUS will display the revision letter,
          and if DOS is using the HMA, or is based in ROM.
Page 10: CDROM detection should work, but higher risk of false detection.
Page 15: Added several partition type names.
Page 18: Added Advanced Power Managment Specification.
         Corrected 386^Max Windows support info.
         Added extra information about Hyperdisk for versions 4.50 or
          newer.
         If Stacker is found, will display drive letters used, and what
         drive letters have been swapped, if any.
Page 19: Added display of what interrupts an AMIS TSR has hooked.

LDOG114.ZIP      The Laughing Dog, professional screen maker

The Laughing Dog Screen Maker is a professional, IBM text-mode screen
designer with lots of extras. The user interface is very similar to a
Windows paint program, with full mouse support, pop-up menus, dialog box
file handling, on-screen toolbar/status display, and over 100 on-line
context-sensitive help screens.

Screens are saved in a compressed format to save disk space and speed
loading. Screens can also be exported in a number of file formats
including: ASCII, ANSI, BSAVE, EPS, WildCat! & PCBoard "@color codes",
and binary. Compiler-ready source code can be generated in several
dialects of BASIC, C, PASCAL and ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE. You can even produce
executable .COM files which will display the screen, wait for a key
press, and return the value of the key pressed for use in batch files!

I have uploaded to WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil:

pd1:<msdos.c>
SPWNO413.ZIP    Disk/EMS/EXT/INT15-swapping spawn() replacemnt

This version fixes the following three bugs in v4.10 which is already
in the archives as SPAWNO41.ZIP:

        1. incorrect use of va_start in some of the .C files.  This causes
           compile-time error messages in some compiler modes under BC++.
        2. failure to detect lack of disk space when forced to swap to disk.
        3. failure to restore parts of the PSP when DS != SS in large-data
           models.

For those who have not previously used SPAWNO, it is a drop-in (no source-code
changes needed) replacement for the standard C library spawn..() functions.
While the child program executes, all but 300 bytes of the parent program
are swapped out of conventional memory.
