Hi,
I don't know if this post would be of any help, but I guess you could use some API calls to obtain the info you need.

Have a look in the code archive (a really gold mine I tell you), there are collections of API calls which may suit your needs.

For example, Boiled Sweets API gems:

http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1180
http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1179

You may search on google a program called API-Guides, which explains the parameters required for each API function, or search for a specific feature you're looking for.

For example, one of the Kernel32 functions is named 'GetSystemInfo', which returns information about the current system.

You may also contact the creators of 'Everest', and ask about which API did they use to accomplish that task.

Good luck,
Sergio.
