                       CPU-Control 1.12 (18-Apr-95)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU-Control  is  a  CPU-like utility for Kickstart/WB 2.0 including a GUI.
The  main  difference  to  other  tools  of this kind is, that CPU-Control
recognizes  external  changes  of  any of its parameters.  Because of this
special  feature it needs some CPU-Time (not much), but in iconified state
it needs no processor time at all.  Additionally CPU-Control allows moving
VBR  (VectorBaseRegister)  to  Fast-RAM, which significantly speeds up all
Traps/Interupts.   Many  CLI  Options have been included to allow usage in
scripts,  so it's a good idea to put "CPU-Control vbr nw" in your Startup-
Sequence.

                                 History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.0     -       initial release:  8-May-92

1.1     -       release date:    13-May-92

                - many serious bugs (hopefully) fixed
                - overall code optimisation
                - added 68020/851 and 68030 MMU support
                - added "ICONIFY" option

1.2     -       release date:    14-May-92

                - added CHECK option to test for a specified processor
                  Example: CPU-Control check 68030
                           will produce an ErrorCode 5 if not found
                  CHECK always activates the NOWIN option
                - cleaned-up menu layout

1.3     -       release date:    16-May-92

                - added MOVESSP option to allow moving the Supervisor
                  Stackpointer to fast memory
                - CLI mode (especially CHECK) can now be used on 68000
                - minor code cleanup

1.3a    -       release date:     7-Jul-92

                - Cache-Inhibit for ChipRAM is no longer set automatically
                  because every well-behaving hardware (including A3000
                  and A2620/30 Turboboards) does this already.
                  In addition operation in ChipRAM is slightly faster now,
                  because the hardwired solution effects Datacache only.
                  In case of trouble the CCI option (CLI only!) could be
                  used to enable Cache-Inhibit. Of course this option is
                  only useful if used together with the MMU option.

1.4     -       release date:    16-Jul-92

                - implemented support for PC/AT-Bridgeboards
                  Cache-Inhibit for Dual-Ported-RAM will be set as soon
                  as the MMU becomes active (SafeKick or FastROM)
                - implemented SystemInfo (Menu or CLI-Option "SI")
                  The short delay when measuring the MIPS performance is
                  quite normal, so don't worry about it!
                - more Menu-Shortcuts available (just have a look...)
                - minor code cleanup

1.5             release date:    21-Jul-92

                - CPU-Control is Font-Sensitive now!
                - replaced "CPU: ..... FPU: ....." text by "System Info"
                  gadget

1.5a            release date:    17-Sep-92

                - Oh dear... Cache-Inhibit for Bridgeboards did not work!

1.6             release date:    27-Oct-92

                - FastROM and SafeKick works with 68040 now (hopefully!).
                  Address-Space is currently truncated to 64MB in order
                  to keep translation tables short and fast.
                - improved MMU-switching routines

1.7             release date:    13-Mar-93

                - GUI is now fully OS-3.x compatible (Menus, BusyPointer)
                - AA Chipset is recognized now
                - minor code cleanup

1.8             release date:     4-Apr-93

                - 040 CopyBack switching behaves exactly like the CPU
                  command now.
                - fixed MMU routines for A4000/40.
                  active MMU (after SetPatch) will be displayed as ALIEN,
                  inactive MMU will be displayed as PRIVATE.
                  MMU usage is forbidden, and would be useless anyway.

1.9             release date:    25-May-93

                - overall code cleanup
                - added MFLOPS calculation to System Info
                - display method for active Kickstart version is 100%
                  clean now

                BTW: MIPS and MFLOPS are no absolute values, but they
                     can be helpful to compare systems using the SAME
                     test software.

1.10            release date:    12-Mar-95

                - fixed small bug in MIPS/MFLOPS display routines
                - FastROM and SafeKick support for 68040 removed
                - removed internal ColdReboot patch, replaced by external
                  RebootPatch program, which works perfectly with all MMUs
                - added external PatchExcept program to fix a serious bug
                  in Kickstarts guru routines
                - includes source files for RebootPatch and PatchExcept

1.11            release date:    17-Apr-95

                - some more code cleanup
                - included PCInhibit030 to switch CacheInhibit for C=
                  A2x86 Bridgeboards. The MMU must be already active.
                  This should work with MMU tables from CPU-Control,
                  CPU (FastROM), SoftBoot (A3000) and A3000 Kickstart.
                  Simply call this command BEFORE BindDrivers.

1.12            release date:    18-Apr-95

                - improved Bridgeboard recognition, so PCInhibit030
                  is not needed if the MMU has been enabled by
                  CPU-Control.


                ATTENTION: If the main progamm file doesn't have a length
                           of 7976 Bytes it is DAMAGED!
