                                 L_PCMODEL()

Syntax:        L_PCMODEL()


Purpose:       To determine the current system model.


Arguments:     None.


Returns:       An integer value representing the PC model of the
               current system


Usage:         The model number returned by some non-IBM machines is
               the same as the IBM model they are emulating.

               Values returned are to be interpreted as follows.
               255 = IBM PC
               254 = IBM PC/XT or portable PC
               253 = IBM PCjr
               252 = IBM AT
               252 = IBM PS/2 Model 50
               252 = IBM PS/2 Model 60
               252 = IBM PC/XT286
               251 = IBM PC/XT
               250 = IBM PS/2 Model 30
               249 = IBM PC Convertible
               248 = IBM PS/2 Model 80

               Known non-IBM PC model numbers.

               252 = Compaq DeskPro 386/20
               254 = Compaq DeskPro
                45 = Compaq Portable
               145 = Compaq Portable Plus

               Knowledge of the system PC Model may allow decisions to
               be made regarding processing speed, storage space or
               other known hardware specifications deficiencies!



Examples:      * Determine PC model
               model = L_PCMODEL()              && Result: 248
