I know that this subjetc is probably hashed over but how do you 
get the computer to reveal what cpu it is running under.  I saw something
about trying op codes that are only valid for the cpu and testing the error
trap.  Could some one please send me a bit of code showing how to accomplish
this?

	thanx
