PURPOSE
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________

Decode and list significant internal DOS tables. Executing this command
produces 6 tables: a memory map, a bar chart showing relative memory
utilization, a table of device drivers, a table of logical devices,
a chart of general system information, and a table of current interrupt
vector owners.

The output from this program may be re-directed to any DOS output device.

The information produced by this program is useful to P. R. Glassel and
Associates, Inc. when you contact them via CompuServe for support with their
QUICKCACHE disk caching software.
