# Desktop Management

In this directory structure you will find the Madge Smart Ringnode DMI (Desktop Management Interface) Agent for DOS and OS/2 platforms.

The DMI specification defines the interaction of manageable 'components' within a desktop system. The benefit of DMI is that, through a single interface, many different components can be managed, as long as they conform to certain rules. The DMI specification was developed by a consortium of leading companies in the PC industry, the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). Madge has played a leading role in the development of the LAN Adapter MIF 1.1 - the standard set of information that a LAN adapter supports.
