Subject: Help asked: How to read the CPU ID register in Digital/VAX Ada?
Message-ID: <1993Aug13.112239.28956@news.cs.tut.fi>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

Hello everybody!

My Ada program is running in VAX under VMS (V5.5-1 to be precise).
It has been developed (well, actually just copied the sources and
recompiled there) with Digital's VAX Ada. The program needs to read
the CPU ID Register value from the machine it is running. (I mean
the 32-bit integer value, which you get at command level, for example,
with 'A = F$GETSYI("SID")' and then 'SHOW SYMBOL A'.)

I'd appreciate it very much if someone could advice me how it can be
done. An example program would be great, or even the highlights of the
solution. Please email the answer directly to me.

Thanking in advance.
