- EXECBEEP was originally written by Charles Lazo III and is included as
- "execbeep.org". The portion of code which displays the exec command line
- was added by me.
-
- This program is especially usefull for spying on the multiple passes that
- C compilers like so much. You can see the command line that is used to
- invoke each compiler pass, and also the linker command line. It's amazing
- what you can find out with a little initiative!
-
- There was no facility in the original program to remove EXECBEEP from memory-
- you have to reboot. I have not added this feature, but maybe someone wants
- to smarten the program up?

- 10/30/88

-
- Added code to 1) Deallocate the environment block
- 2) Check for copy of program already in memory
- 3) Allow program to uninstall itself
-
- To uninstall, use "U" or "/U" or "-U". (Actually, if you put anything
- on the command line which contains the letter "U", either upper or lower-
- case, then the program will attempt to uninstall.)
-
- The source for version 2 (Mr. Ross's version) is included as
- "execbeep.vs2"
-
- I am indebted to the fine programmers of PC Magazine's Productivity section.
- All of the functions I added to this program were lifted from their work
- as printed in the mag. As someone once said, "We stand on the shoulders
- of giants."
