I originally posted this question in the beginners are, but didn't receive a true answer, so I decided to post it here as it does appear to be a more advanced question than i had thought.
I recently downloaded a program called Everest (the free edition). It is as a one stop shop for all information about the PC (maker of the CD drive, speed of the processor, amount of RAM, etc.) in order to obtain new drivers or other miscellaneous maintenance jobs. The idea intrigued me. I want to create a program much like Everest, but which outputs the reports in a more readable format, not to mention, perhaps, downloading the drivers for the user. My question is how would i go about obtaining information such as processor speed or the maker of the HDD? Is there a Blitz userlib for getting these useful tidbits? Any answer to the first question would be appreciated, but i would just about crap myself with joy if someone could give me an answer for the second one other than "no".
