This Program gives the details (name, kernel, machine type, domain, groups, sizeof data types, etc) of the host it is running on.

The last time I has seen such odd header files, was in one of Herb Schildt's old books.

I'm compiling with the old TC 2.0v and some syntax errors come up, may be because the 'ancient' compiler I'm using.
