This is specific to the kernel you are talking to. DOS has different API than Linux for retrieving this information. Of course, you could write ASSEMBLY to figure it out, but that'd be a waste of time. Instead, why don't you download the source code for any number of CPU and Memory tracker applets/epplets/widgets available for X. Perhaps look at the source code for top, or even in the kernel itself at how it writes out /proc/cpuinfo, then call those directly. TTBOMK, I don't know of any ANSI C or C++ call to get this information. If there is, it's in a separate API library that may be written in an ANSI style, but not necessarily classified as an ANSI library. If you on a UNIX machine, remember to install the manpages-dev, or manpages for the developers. -- Chad "^chewie, gunnarr" Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/
