The SECOND 1999 Release of ThermoProtect! :)

Now ThermoProtect V1.17 is available on
hobbes.mnsu.edu/pub/incoming/tp-117.zip

and later it will be moved to
hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/mboard/tp-117.zip

Freeware now and forever! :)


New Version Highlight :
=======================
This is a fairly massive update and bug fix, so please bear with me... :)

Since ThermoProtect is built with easy to upgrade code, I've decided to add
support for additional hardware to the program first, instead of making the
GUI version.  And fear not, all the work done here will be translated to an
even better GUI version... 

*This version adds the ability to output to file, this feature
 does not allow custom file name at this time.

*Well, now ThermoProtect is the FIRST (AFAIK) enviromental monitor
 that FULLY SUPPORTS Winbond W83782D's output feature!  Other
 program might be compatible with it, but they do not exploit
 the extra feature that it provides! Yeah, one more thing to brag
 about...  ThermoProtect can now provide you with information
 about information on your system's CMOS battery, helping you to
 identify mysterious CMOS setting loss.

*False ThermoAlarm rejection added, Winbond's chip may sometimes gives
 you 0 RPM for fan speed, this problem with the hardware has been fixed
 by ThermoProtect's internal false alarm rejection system. I'm surprised
 no one had mentioned about this problem but it seems that some chips
 would give a fluke value once in a while (seems like I'm reading the
 chip while it is updating the variables.).

@Now using CmdLin3 command line parameter processor, joint effort
 between Jim Walsh, Kevin McCoy and ME! :) And numerous bugfix
 related to the newer CmdLin3's value extraction problems.

!Chip detection bug fixed, now it should be able to accurately
 identify all known chips.

!ThermoAlarm might indicate some inputs are protected even when
 they are NOT PROTECTED. This bug has been corrected.

!The command line input for Fan #3's ThermoAlarm feature is now
 corrected. Now incorrect command line input to ThermoAlarm will
 be detected properly.

!ThermoProtect may not write the proper value into the lowest fan
 speed variable when it drops to zero or non existent. Now fixed.



REQUESTS!
=========

If anyone knows what's going on with Gigabyte 6BXE's weird negative voltage
reading (-12V shows up as -2.xxxV, and -5V shows up as -1.xxxV... very
weird...), please let me know...


Error/Bug Reports:
==================

If this program says that it can't identify the chip... please do the
following...

 *MAKE SURE you do have a enviromental monitoring chip of some kind.
 *Check if the output from ThermoProtect is making sense or not (ie +5V
entry showing +8V is NOT making sense... :) )...
 *Check your motherboard manual and record the model and the make of
the monitoring chip.
 *E-Mail me the data... :)
