configmaker and feature set

there must be something configmaker doing that extracts the exact
feature set information from a router,

I tried like hell to find out what feature set am I running on a
router that I was told to manage from now on but couldn't. so i
downloaded a program called configmaker just to see how it works and
to my surprise, when I added the router in, it told me the exact
feature set that it is running. IP/IPX/Appletalk

there is no easy way to find that off of any router, at lease not to
my knowledge.

comments?
