CPU temperature reading with C

Hi,

Here is the deal: I've connected a 2x20 HD44780 based LCD to the parallel port and trying to program it. I'm using Borland C. I've managed to program the HD44780. What I want to do is displaying different Mother Board settings at the LCD. There are plenty of programs doing taht, but I want to make my own simple DOS program displaying i.e CPU teperature, System temperatur, system clock etc. I've searched in Google but couldn't find any usefull stuff. I'm using an Abit IC7-G mother board. Abit has a tool called Abit Eq showing the values I want to display. I'm a newbee in programming. Abit uses a super I/O chip called winboard w83627hf. Some people claimed that BIOS memory maps the values, and if I read the addresses I could get the values, but I don't know the addresses and how to interprete the values. Could some body help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance...

It seems (from the forum entry) like the lm sensors packet supports that one , as its a linux project you might be able to get some code as its prob. GPL'ed
