Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

MSD
Provides detailed technical information about your computer.
Syntax
To use MSD to create a report, use the following syntax:
MSD [/I] [/F[drive:][path]filename] [/P[drive:][path]filename]
[/S[drive:][path][filename]]
To run the MSD program and examine technical information through its
interface, use the following syntax:
MSD [/B] [/I]
Parameters
[drive:][path]filename
Specifies the drive, directory, and filename to which you want to write
the report.
Switches
/I
Specifies that MSD not initially detect hardware. Use the /I switch if
you are having problems starting MSD or if MSD is not running properly.
/F[drive:][path]filename
Prompts you for name, company, address, country, phone number, and
comments, then writes a complete MSD report to the file you specify.
/P[drive:][path]filename
Writes a complete MSD report to the file you specify, without prompting
you for information.
/S[drive:][path][filename]
Writes a summary MSD report to the file you specify, without prompting
you for information. If you do not specify any of the parameters, MSD
writes the report to the screen.
/B
Runs MSD in black and white instead of color. Use the /B switch when you
have a monitor that does not correctly display MSD in color.
