SnoopDos 3.0 -- Source Code Release

           Copyright © Eddy Carroll, September 1994. Freely distributable.


INTRODUCTION

    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, available in the /pub/aminet/util/moni directory on
    AmiNet. This contains the SnoopDos executable, and also an extensive
    AmigaGuide help file which should prove useful while browsing the
    source code.

    See the file SnoopDos.Roadmap inside the source directory for information
    about how the source code is organised.


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.
