WHDInfo * WHDLoad Slave Examiner
WHDInfo is used to display information about WHDLoad Slaves used in hundreds of HD installers.
With this utility, you can quickly view ALL the Slave information including WHDLoad version required, memory, Slave version, copyright information...
This is very handy to check you have the latest Slave, finding the quit key for games, and for WHDLoad HD installer writers to check their installs.
WHDInfo should be run from the CLI only.
It is best setup in Directory Opus so that double clicking on a Slave displays all information about it.
