Subject: CPU ID program, second version
Reply-To: djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com

Hello,

if all what "uname -m" has to do is print i[3-6]86,
then this program below should do it correctly. I
went to AMD and Cyrix web sites, fetched docs and
added support for these CPU, but is it necesarry
at all? If no - prg below should do the trick. If
yes - there is extended version which detects CPU
vendor. Just tell me.

So the main difference from previous prg is removed
check for "GenuineIntel" and generic check for 
CPU instruction family with CPUID is used instead.
