what kind of machine am I

[Daniel Smith "innovation, not litigation..."]

	I posted this a while back, you can use it as a start... you
just need to figure out what is different about a dec or whatever, and
add the appropriate lines.  It's derived from the sun "arch" command.
It's better to have each machine have some sort of database in one place,
like Karl K. mentioned, but if you're dealing with "stock" systems, then
you need to take this approach (query after query...)
