# GetIP v.4b

**Author:** Marques Johansson  

**Contact:** @displague  

## Overview

GetIP is a lightweight utility originally designed for Windows systems to fetch and export environment variable settings related to system information. The software leverages Win32 API calls and produces outputs suitable for integration into batch scripts.

The utility was initially hosted on [Simtel.net](https://ftp.sunet.se/mirror/archive/ftp.sunet.se/pub/simtelnet/win95/util/getipv4.zip) (1999), a historic repository for shareware software.

**⚠️ Note:** This project is preserved here for personal archival purposes. GetIP has since been superseded by more modern tools such as PowerShell, which provides better functionality and broader support.
