Displaying Version and System
Information
This section describes two utilities, VPROC and SYSINFO, which you can use to find
information about your system and its software.
VPROC is a utility that uniquely identifies and displays product version information for
one or more files. SYSINFO displays basic information about a local or remote system.
If you are reporting a problem or asking for product or system support, you need to run
VPROC or SYSINFO so you can supply Compaq with the correct system information or
product versions for the product files.

Task 1: Find Product Files
There can be many files for a product in different locations on a system; you want the
one that is actively used. Product files are located in both the Guardian and Open
System Services (OSS) environments. VPROC can be run from both environments, so
the procedure you need to perform depends upon the environment you are using and
where the product files are located.
In the Guardian Environment
The following procedure finds the version of a product's object file that you use because
of the values in your PMSEARCHLIST TACL variable. Other users might use other
versions of the file.
To find the correct object file for a Guardian product, work in the Guardian
environment:
1. Start the product from a TACL prompt. Use the NOWAIT run option in
combination with the NAME run option so you can start a process but stay in the
TACL program.
2. Use the STATUS command to identify the location of the object file that your
system referred to when it started the named process.
3. Use the STOP command to stop the process (unless you intend to use it).
