  59.           Thank you for trying out Snooper, the System Checker.  This handy
  60.           system information utility reports many operating characteristics
  61.           of your computer.  Snooper tells you all about your computer's
  62.           memory, ports, mouse, disks, network, and much more.
  63.  
  64.           To get a help screen showing Snooper's full syntax, type:
  65.  
  66.                snooper /h
  67.  
  68.           To run it, at the DOS prompt, simply type:
  69.  
  70.                snooper
  71.  
  72.           To exit Snooper, press:

  75.  
  76.           To print Snooper's manual, type:
  77.  
  78.                copy snooper.doc prn
  79.  
  80.           Please read the manual.  It explains how to use Snooper's
  81.           advanced features, such as the SNOOPER environment variable and
  82.           file logging.  The manual is over thirty pages long so be sure
  83.           you have enough paper before you start.
  84.  
  85.                          Again, thank you for trying Snooper.
