+- add in envi the ability to query from another base-prefix 
+  e. g. /home/Programs/.
+
+  Invocation example:
+
+    envi --work-on-programs-directory-only
+
+and then explain this too.
+
+So the idea is to first ONLY consider
+checking the programs that are registered
+and THEn to check inside of these directories,
+e. g. for pkgconfig, or for --version or whatever
+only there
+also ewe will use only those directories
+with "Current" symlink pointing to EXISTING directories.
+^^^
+THEN also
+make it available on /home/Programs/Toolchain
+
+then upload
+
+^^^ this works now with the first variant but only for
+    "bison --version" programs; need to add support
+    for pkg-config programs too, at a later time.
+
+^^^ also has to then add it onto --help to show it
+    once it works properly.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+in envi: add
+
+--scan-this-directory=/Programs
+^^^ this shall check for each directory there, if it is NOT empty,
+and then to find out what to use to determine the version 
+dynamically.
+but before we do so, perhaps add a way to query the binary
+from any path... e. g. /Programs/Htop/Current/ or so
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+- if we rewrite the project, properly add disabling of saving

+
+The gem environment_information is able to provide information about the
+computer host system, in particular on Linux systems, if ruby is available
+on that computer. Commonly used programs will be queried for their current
+version number (and whether they exist) on the target computer. If these
+programs do happen to exist then the corresponding version will be
+displayed, on the commandline.
+
+This is somewhat similar to the "Linux from Scratch" project, which uses
+a shell script to display the version of many commonly used programs.
+As I prefer ruby over shell scripts, I wrote this somewhat equivalent
+project.
+
+For more information and documentation about this project, consider
+looking at the homepage of this gem, at
+
+  https://rubygems.org/gems/environment_information
+
+and look at the documentation on the bottom right side,
+called "Documentation".

+
+You can run this little script by issuing:
+
+    envi
+
+on the commandline. (The script envi is part of this gem and can
+be found at the subdirectory bin/envi of the gem.)
+
+Within ruby code, you can require the project and then display
+information too, via:
+
+    require 'environment_information'
+    EnvironmentInformation.run
+
+For the (documented) options, you can do either of the following:
+
+    envi --help
+    envi HELP
+
+This will feedback the options that are available.
+
+To get the full output of just about every program that is checked
+by this gem, try any of the following invocation:
+
+    envi --all
+    envi ALL
+
+(Lowercase works fine just as well. The commandline options that
+include two '-' characters are, internally, the preferred variants.)
+
+To obtain an individual entry, do something such as this:
+
+    envi gtk
+    envi pango
+    envi gcr
+
+To disable colours, do either one of these:
+
+    envi --nocolours
+    envi --no-colours
+    envi --no-colors
+    envi --nocolors
+    envi nocolours
+    envi NOCOLOURS
+
+(Both UK and US spelling is supported, so colour works just as
+well as color.)
+
+If all of this may become too tedious to type, I just use an
+alias called ALL, which stands short for "envi all" or 
+"envi show_all".
+
+Another option, both of which are synonymous to each other,
+is to compare all existing programs on a given host system
+with the version registered in the RBT project:
+
+    envi ALL REALLY_ALL
+    envi --compare_programs
+    envi compare_programs
+
+If you wish to show only the OS information, do:
+
+    envi --os?
