Short: Source code for the SnoopDos 3.1 update
Author: ecarroll@iol.ie (Eddy Carroll)
Uploader: llong@tin.it (Luca Longone), tanti@intercom.it (Massimo Tantignone)
Type: util/moni
* VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: this archive contains an updated version of the
* SnoopDos source code, with the version number bumped to 3.1. This was
* NOT made by the original SnoopDos author, Eddy Carroll, but instead
* by Luca Longone and Massimo Tantignone (with Eddy Carroll's approval).
*
* This update removes an Enforcer hit which can happen because of an
* interaction between ToolManager and SnoopDos 3.0. We just added a
* safety check on the memory type at line 4466 in the "patches.c" module.
*
* The compiled executable is also on Aminet (util/moni/snoopdos31.lha).
*
* For more details, please read the "Readme.source" file in the archive.
*
* Any references to PGP in the documentation aren't valid anymore for
* SnoopDos versions greater than 3.0. If you need authentication, please
* ask us or the original author.
*
* What follows is the text from the original snoopdos30_src.readme file:
SnoopDos patches a variety of AmigaDOS library functions that
are commonly called by other programs and allows you to monitor
the activities carried out by those programs.
The source code allows you to examine how SnoopDos operates. You
may find it useful as example code if you are interested in any
of the following:
- patching system library functions
- creating font-sensitive gadtools or BOOPSI GUI interfaces
without the help of a third party GUI library
- accessing AmigaGuide help
- copying text to the clipboard
- allowing localisation of all program text strings
- supporting drag & drop operations
- seeing how a medium sized Amiga application is constructed
I don't claim that this code is perfect but it does have the advantage
of actually working, so it's a useful starting point.
You will probably also want to obtain the companion binary archive
snoopdos30.lha. This contains the snoopdos executable, and also an
extensive AmigaGuide help file which should prove useful while
browsing the source code.
DISTRIBUTION CONDITIONS
You may freely use portions of the SnoopDos source code in your
own programs if you wish. However, if you use two or more complete
functions from the SnoopDos code, you must acknowledge the origin
of those functions in your documentation and source code.
You may modify the SnoopDos source code to create new versions of
SnoopDos for your own use only. You may not redistribute such new
versions without my explicit permission.
PROGRAM SECURITY
For convenient reference, my PGP public key is given below. You can
use this to verify the integrity of the official releases of SnoopDos
starting with version 3.0.
