SNOOPER'S REVISION HISTORY
VERSION DATE REVISIONS
3.44* 07/19/96 Added recognition of 166, 180, and 200MHz systems.
Added new BBS listing and Web site.
3.43* 02/18/96 Snooper's ninth birthday! Added the First Impression
Installation program. Now you can just run INSTALL
to install Snooper. It will work from a floppy or a
hard drive.
09/17/95 Rewrote the game port (joystick) detection routine,
fixing a couple bugs and improving accuracy.
3.42* 07/17/95 If the High Memory Area (HMA) is defined, under DOS-5
or newer, Snooper now reports how many bytes are free
in the HMA, rather than simply reporting it is in
use. Some programs can use this space to store data.
To make room for this report, the A20 report was
removed (it is still available on systems running
DOS-4 or older).
Completely reworked the manual's index, making it
much easier to find what you're looking for.
Fixed a bug that prevented Snooper from reporting
video memory on some 1M VESA-compatible VGA cards.
3.41 07/11/95 Snooper can now accurately determine the amount of
data recorded on a CD-ROM disk, another Snooper
Exclusive(tm).
Snooper now recognizes 133 and 150MHz systems.
3.40* 06/21/95 Fixed bug in CMOS routines that caused some computers
to exhibit strange behavior when the CMOS was edited.
These routines should be safe now.
Added detection of many more Dell systems. Snooper
now recognizes fifty Dell models by name.
3.39 05/18/95 Fixed bug that would sometimes cause a computer with
an EIDE hard drive to hang for several seconds after
the user exited Snooper.
Snooper now recognizes 120MHz systems.
3.38 05/01/95 Added detection of several HP computers.
3.37 04/06/95 Fixed bug that told the user to reboot after the
SNOOPER.LOG file was edited.
Touched up Snooper's icon. It will look better on
colored backgrounds.
3.36 03/25/95 Added detection of many Toshiba laptops by name.
3.35 03/21/95 Fixed minor bug that caused a Linefeed character to
appear in a log file created on a machine with a
Logitech mouse driver loaded.
3.34 03/17/95 Removed LAN Manager detection because it caused false
positives when Snooper was run under Windows.
3.33 03/17/95 Fixed bug that caused mouse driver versions above 9
to be reported incorrectly.
3.32 03/16/95 Made system file logging more flexible by adding the
"W" command line switch. Here is how to log the
system files:
To log: Use this switch:
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT F
WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI W
Note the "F" switch now logs only the DOS system
files. This way, you can log the DOS and Windows
system files independently.
3.30* 02/18/95 Snooper's eighth birthday! Changed the order screen
and order form a bit to accomodate American
Express(R) orders and to help ensure registrants fill
in all necessary fields. Reinserted ORDER.FRM in the
ZIP file to assist users looking for a pre-existing
order form on the disk. You can still print one from
Snooper's main screen by typing <F1>, <O>, <P>, <1>.
11/26/94 Snooper can now find and load system and log files
even if their hidden and/or system attributes are
set.
11/03/94 We are now authorized to accept the Discover Card(R).
Snooper's ordering screen and invoice have been
updated to reflect this.
Added SNOOPER.FAQ, a file containing Frequently Asked
Questions and answers about Snooper. Please check it
first to see if it has the answer to your question
before calling for help. Thanks!
10/24/94 If DRDOS is detected, and the version is at least
7.0, Snooper will now report "Nov DOS" for "Novell
DOS."
10/20/94 Clarified California sales tax on invoice. California
residents should add the sales tax they normally do
in their area.
10/01/94 We moved to San Francisco! This version has new
address and phone numbers on the first page of the
manual and Snooper's ordering screen (press <F1>,
then <O>).
Added ability to detect 3COM 3C529 EtherLink III and
ATI Graphics Ultra Pro MicroChannel cards.
8/01/94 Relaxed detection of invalid IDE model names,
allowing more valid models to be shown.
The /T(uneSkip) command line switch now also disables
SCSI host adapter detection, which accesses the same
port addresses and can cause lockups on some systems
with network cards (see also: 6/30/94).
Fixed cosmetic bug on the Benchmark screen that
caused the hard drive number (0 or 1) to be written
in the wrong place on systems with more than one hard
drive.
6/30/94 Snooper can now differentiate between Windows Real
and Standard modes, and the DOS-5 task-switcher.
Fixed false Pentium detection on some late-release
486 chips.
Added /T(uneSkip) command line switch. It makes
Snooper skip detection of sounds cards, which causes
lockups on some systems whose network cards are
configured to use I/O addresses in the 200h-390h
range, and that have network drivers loaded.
Reformatted the manual to print better on some
printers.
Removed the 5.25" 720K floppy drive type from the
CMOS screen (a rare breed, but they do exist). You
probably didn't have one anyway.
3/30/94 You can now use Snooper interactively in Quiet mode
(no screen display). Be very careful when doing this,
as you may get lost and change something you
shouldn't.
3/17/94 We have a new address! Please update your records
accordingly. Existing telephone numbers have not
changed, but we have added a dedicated fax line so
you can fax your order or questions. NOTE: This
address change was superceded by the 10/01/94
version.
3.29 3/94 We added the feature you've asked for the most:
Auto-Logging! This command line option
(/A[B][D][E][L][N][O][S]) causes Snooper to log
whatever screens you want, automatically, with no
user intervention. This is perfect for gathering
hardware inventory for an entire network through a
login script. See SNOOPER.DOC for full details about
how to use this powerful feature.
Also, changed operation of /Quiet mode switch to work
with Auto-Logging, making it possible to log all
information with no visible display. Because neophyte
users may be
