- ABOUT:
- ------
- SysInspector is a complete system monitor for AmigaOS. It allows you to
- view what tasks are currently running on your system and suspend or kill
- them, remove locks left behind by buggy applications, generate mountlists
- for mounted devices, and much more!
-
-
- The main goals while developping it were:
-
- o Stability and reliability - you want to remove crashed tasks, not to
- crash another one.
-
- o Usefulness - it must allow you to do more than just view what's on your
- system.
-
- o A modern, font-adaptive, and easy-to-use GUI, by using the ClassAct
- BOOPSI toolkit. No cryptic commands to remember, it's all presented
- with a very intuitive GUI.
-
- o Be useful for both the casual user who's only curious and for the
- advanced user who needs to remove crashed tasks or libraries.
-
- o User-configurability.
-
-
- SysInspector requires at least Kickstart 3.0 or better, and the ClassAct
- BOOPSI classes installed on your system. The latest ClassAct archive can
- be found at ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/classact/ and
- ftp://ftp.warped.com/pub/amiga/classact/
-
-
- SysInspector is released as non-crippled Shareware. The asked fee is
- 15$ US. Please help keeping the Amiga alive by supporting Amiga authors.

- CHANGES SINCE 1.3:
- ------------------
-
- ° NEW: "Timer Requests" and "Resident DOS cmds" added to the list
- types.
-
- ° NEW: Added "Intuition Settings..." to the Tools menu.
-
- ° NEW: "PUBSCREEN" argument/tooltype.
-
- ° NEW: Added support for Jason Hulance's "Explorer" (included in
- this archive along with a pre-made datafile).
-
- ° NEW: You can now open a new public screen from the "Screens/Windows"
- list. Note that I have no intention of turning SysInspector into
- a full-featured public screen manager, so don't expect any fancy
- feature.
-
- ° Fixed problems with RAM: DOS locks. The "Scan RAM: locks" prefs
- option is now gone.
-
- ° New pictogram for Assigns.
-
- ° Message Ports priority is now editable.
-
- ° Iconifying when there was no icon available would use a garbled
- icon (built-in icon had a wrng PlanePick value).
-
- ° boards.library 2.17 included (now recognizes 375 boards).
-
- ° Some changes to the listbrowser V42 support to match with the
- latest changes in the current beta.
-
- ° Animated "About" is back for button.gadget V41 (a forecoming
- update of the gadget will eliminate the flicker).
-
- ° Fixed potential Enforcer hits when saving prefs would fail.
-
- ° Now uses 32-bits maths to calculate the largest block percentage
- in the More window when displaying a memory node.
-
- ° Saving the content of the More window would display the wrong
- address for the displayed object if you were using formatted
- hex values.
-
- ° Some changes to the Screenmode ModeID sort code, fixing some
- occasional problems with it.
-
- ° After signaling a task, will wait for 3 secs instead of just one
- before checking if it's gone.
-
- ° Some changes to the "More" display for tasks and processes.
-
- ° Note that the Warped FTP site is often behind with classes
- releases. I advise you check ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/classact/
- instead to obtain the latest ClassAct archive.
-
- ° I'll be probably be moving during spring '98, so please Email me
- first before sending me any regular mail or registration fee.
