InfSpy v2.06 (10/10/94)
InfSpy is a general purpose Windows environment viewer allowing you view
Heap, Tasks, Windows, Classes, Modules, File Handles, DOS and Memory
Information. You can trace messages, stack and set up automatic timers
to provide real-time tracing on virtually every aspect of Windows.
Ver 1.xx was highly praised by shareware magazines and software reviews
and was published in several books including "Byte Magazine's Programmer
Cookbook for Windows" and WUGNET's "Windows Configuration Secrets" as
a powerful,easy tool to inspect your Windows environment.
InfSpy now includes STRESS functions that let you use InfSpy to really
put the pressure on Windows and other applications. You can grab Global
Heap, GDI Heap, User Heap, File Handles, Disk Space and Timers. There is
also a function that continually does disk I/O to help simulate a busy
disk.
Real time tracing of stack, windows messages and serial comm ports has
been added as well as IntelliLib (tm) technology that lets you customize
InfSpy by specifying with DLLs to load to add\remove functionality.
Note: If you experience problems using the serial communications tracing
facility then read the section in the OnLine Help regarding Tracing
your serial communications.

Definition Of Shareware
=======================
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details --
some request registration while others require it, some specify a
maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with
printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad
ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
example, some authors require written permission before a commercial
disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead
is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee - if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
