- system monitor from Andreas Gelhausen.

- What is Scout?
- ==============
-
- Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It
- displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns,
- expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you
- can perform some certain actions on them.
-
- For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release
- semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts.
-
- Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as an TCP/IP service.
-
- Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented
- functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary
- to install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI if you want
- to use Scout with its graphical user interface.
-
- BTW: Scout can open 49 different windows! :-)
-
-
- Changes from release 2.9 to release 2.10:
- =========================================
-
- o Menu shortcuts set to uppercase (style guide) [Marcin Orlowski]
-
- o Print filerequester opened in Save mode [Marcin Orlowski]
-
- o identify.library is optional now, but Scout will then have a few
- restrictions [Daniel Lundberg]
-
- o Implemented BOOPSI classes window
-
- o Improved the System window, now using identify V8 and showing
- Cache state; added an Update button
-
- o All identify strings are in English now, no more language mixture
-
- o The Expansion window is consistent now, but not compatible to
- older Scouts. Make sure to run Scout R2.10 on the remote system
- as well when using TCP/IP.
-
- o Board names are now shown in the expansion list
-
- o Re-arranged the main window buttons. Sorry but this was necessary.
-
- o Re-arranged the devices and resources window buttons so the window
- can be sized smaller. [Andreas Benden]
-
- o Some minor internal cleanups and optimizations
