Short: SnoopDos 3.2, the well known system monitor

SnoopDos 3.2 -- System and application monitor
Copyright © Eddy Carroll, September 1994. Freely distributable.
Updated on January 2000 by Luca Longone and Massimo Tantignone
with permission of the original author.
Updated again on March 2000 by Grzegorz Chmie and Thomas Richter.
* VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: this archive contains an updated version of the
* SnoopDos executable, with the version number bumped to 3.2. This was
* NOT made by the original SnoopDos author, Eddy Carroll, but instead
* by Luca Longone and Massimo Tantignone, and Grzegorz Chmie
* and Thomas Richter (with Eddy Carroll's approval).
*
* The purpose of this update is to remove an Enforcer hit which can happen
* with version 3.0 when a program is launched from ToolManager's dock and
* SnoopDos is running with its "SendRexx" patch turned on. Said hit doesn't
* seem to cause any harm, however it can be an annoyance for people which
* have Enforcer running all the time.
* The hit is apparently due to the way ToolManager sets up its message
* port and only happens when SnoopDos 3.0 is running. Since we can't
* fix ToolManager right now, we made SnoopDos able to avoid the hit.
* If you don't use ToolManager, you don't need this update.
*
* The 3.2 update was made to remove one additional frequent enforcer hit
* that appeared when the snoopdos patches have been called in the middle
* of a graphics operation. In that case, RastPort->Layer is NULL'd and
* the code didn't check. Fixed.
* Another improvement is that SnoopDos accepts now "NewIcons" style
* icons correctly for iconification.
* General house keeping work has been done, one header file has been
* enlarged to include all the required prototypes, and the code was
* recompiled with the registerized parameter option, making it quite
* noticably shorter. (And maybe quite unnoticably faster as well :-)
*
* For the more suspicious people, the updated source code is on Aminet
* as well (util/moni/snoopdos32_src.lha).
*
* The SnoopDos executable was recompiled for the plain 68000 again because
* I do not see the point why to go for an 68020 if it is not necessary.
* The code shrunk anyhow and I do not notice a speed improvement by using
* the 68020 switch.
*
* The original SnoopDos 3.0 documentation is included in this update
* without any modification, but please note that all references to PGP
* can't be applied to this update. If you need confirmation about the
* genuine nature of this update you can ask us or the original author.
