The POS utility
---------------

POS is a simple utility program for displaying a lot of information
about a MicroChannel PS/2 system.  As its name suggests, it does this by
interrogating the Programmable Option Select (POS) registers of the
machine. 

POS was written as part of another project, and to some extent is a
'work in progress'.  It correctly identifies most systems, but will
complain if it comes across one for which I have not yet figured out the
details.  If you have such a system, please let me know and I will try
to add it.  POS also does not recognise a lot of different MCA cards; it
just provides information on a few.  Other programs (such as IDMCA and
QBMCA) exist that do a better job of that. 

To use the program, just run it:

            POS

Output can be redirected to a file by using the standard > construct:

            POS > MYSYS.TXT

Output to the screen is 'paged' if it occupies more than one screen.
The Enter key moves on by one line, and the space bar by one screen.
