Heap, Tasks, Windows, Classes, Modules, File Handles, DOS and Memory
Information. You can trace messages, stack and set up automatic timers

a powerful,easy tool to inspect your Windows environment.
This version has many more options, features an MDI interface that lets
you customize your startup and allows you to maintain multiple views

Version History
===============
Ver 2.03:
- Task list modified to contain the path of the task program.
- Added Command line parameter (\cf:) to allow you to specify a different
INI configuration file. Example: {\b INFSPY \cf:c:\windows\myini.ini}.
- Added File Activity Trace. Traces Windows\Dos File Creates\Renames & Deletes
- Fixed bug (0001:1957) that caused GPF when you pressed CANCEL on the Comm
trace startup dialog.
- Added VM\VxD Ring 0 inquiry support. Lets you list the Virtual machines
and VxDs on your system.
- Added VM message trace, traces all Virtual Machine messages from Ring 0.
- Fixed bug (0001:020A) which caused GPF during Application summary.
- Fixed bug in COMM Trace that was giving gpf : 'NOT PRESENT FAULT'.
The trace routine will now report that it was 'UNABLE TO INSTALL THE COMM
HOOK' without a GPF!.
- Added option to allow trace boxes to filled at top or bottom of list.
- Added option to end trace when box is full or to erase oldest entry.
- Added Resource & Memory monitor in Text or Bar Graph mode.
Ver 2.02:
- Corrected RunTime Err 201 at 0015:038E that occurs under WFWG. Thanks Ed!
- While Comm Tracing - selecting the "StopCommTrace" menu option now simply
disables the trace without deleting the trace window. You can restart the
trace in the same trace window by selecting the "Trace Serial Comm" menu
option again.
- The "INFNW" Dll was renamed to "INFNWDLL" and the "INFHOOK" Dll was
renamed to "INFHKDLL". This was due to complaints of existing Dlls from
other products by the same name.
- All the functionality related to DOS inquiries, ie: Device drivers, Memory
Control Blocks, Open Files, Environment, etc.. were removed from the
mainline code and placed in an IntelliLib DLL - "INFDSDLL". This was done
to satisfy several complaints of people running OS2 and Windows NT that
those functions did not work or gave screwy results... so now they can
just shut them off using IntelliLib!

Definition Of Shareware
=======================
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details --
some request registration while others require it, some specify a
maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with
printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad
ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
example, some authors require written permission before a commercial
disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead
is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee - if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
