- SnoopDos 3.0 -- System and application monitor
-
- Copyright © Eddy Carroll, September 1994. Freely distributable.
-
- SnoopDos is a utility that allows you to monitor a variety of system
- operations carried out by programs on your Amiga. This includes what
- files a program is trying to open, what fonts, libraries, devices and
- environment variables it is looking for, and so on.
-
- To run SnoopDos, just double-click on the icon or type RUN SNOOPDOS at
- the Shell prompt. Most of the features are fairly obvious, but if you
- get stuck, you can press the HELP key to access AmigaGuide help.
-
- Here's a quick summary of the most important new features in this version:
-
- o Over 20 new system functions are supported
- o A full GUI provides easy access to all options
- o The output format can be customised using a new format editor
- o Output that scrolls off the window can be recalled
- o Messages sent by ARexx scripts can be monitored
- o Commodity support lets SnoopDos run in the background
- o Clipboard support lets you cut and paste output
- o Programs that use ixemul.library for i/o can be monitored
- o A packet debugger lets programmers monitor all DOS packets
- o Over 100 ARexx commands provide for unattended operation
- o Online AmigaGuide help covers all aspects of operation
-
- See the file SnoopDos.guide for full details on how to use SnoopDos, and for
- distribution conditions. If you want to print out that file for offline
- reference, I recommend the utility AG2TXT by Jason R. Hulance. You can find
- this on Aminet as pub/aminet/text/hyper/ag2txt.lzh.
-
- In the past, certain people have released modified copies of SnoopDos which
- contain trojan horses or other atrocities. Starting with version 3.0, all
- versions of the SnoopDos executable will be signed using PGP (Pretty Good
- Privacy). If you have my public PGP key, you can use it to ensure that your
- copy of SnoopDos has not been modified by a third party.
-
- To obtain a copy of my public key, send a message to ecarroll@maths.tcd.ie
- with the subject line "PGPKEY". If you're on Bix or Cix, you can also find
- my public key in my online resume (user name ecarroll).
-
- The signature for this release of SnoopDos appears below. To check if it
- matches the executable, first ensure that you have added my PGP key to your
- public key ring, and then type:
-
- pgp Readme.First SnoopDos
-
- This will display a message informing you whether or not the signature
- matches the executable. See the PGP documentation for additional precautions
- you may need to take.
-
- If you discover any bugs in SnoopDos, or have suggestions for the next
- version, please email me at ecarroll@maths.tcd.ie.
