RE: [dmidecode] Re: dmidecode for DOS?

[Anderson, Ian]

Sorry to hear that, I was hoping that integrating the patches would garner
attention from someone who has actually done some DOS C programming and
clean them up (assuming they can be).
On a related note, would it be possible to a another switch that would add a
chunk of text before an -s tag output?
I'd like to be able to create a batch file/shell script that can do the
following

dmidecode -s chassis-asset-tag -e set assettag= > env.bat 
dmidecode -s chassis-serial-number -e set serialno= > env.bat 
dmidecode -s system-product-name -e set model= > env.bat

and then env.bat would be
set assettag=[assettag]
set serialno=[serialno]
set model=[model]

Most certainly you replaced getopt_long with getopt, and I guess the former
wasn't supported by DJGPP but the latter was.

It's great to know that dmidecode can be easily hacked to work in DOS
environments. I will probably not integrate these changes in the mainline
sources though, because I would be unable to maintain compatibility
afterwards (not having a test system).
