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 History buffer to record all output that scrolls off the window
o Full GUI to provide easy access to all features
o Commodity support to allow running in the background
o Clipboard support to make it easy to copy output into your editor
o Support for monitoring many new functions (e.g. Tooltypes + ARexx)
o Support for monitoring programs compiled with GNU C
o User-definable output format with drag & drop format editor
o DOS packet monitor for device driver writers
o Full ARexx interface
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 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.
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.
