1 What is IconTrace ?  

    IconTrace is a program that allows you to monitor what the icon library
is doing when you start a program using the Workbench. It's main use lies
in discovering undocumented ToolTypes and debugging your existing ToolTypes
by watching if the program finds them correctly. You are also shown what
icons your programs look for.


2 Features of IconTrace

    Currently the following functions can be monitored:

        FindToolType            GetIcon
        GetDiskObject           MatchToolValue
        GetDiskObjectNew        PutDiskObject
        GetDefDiskObject        PutDefDiskObject
                                PutIcon

You can specify which functions IconTrace should monitor.  

IconTrace saves the trace information it gathers as session history. It
provides a scrollbar which enables you to scroll through the session
history.

IconTrace is also a commodity. You can specify a hotkey to show or hide the
output window.

IconTrace can open on any public screen.  


1.3 System requirements

    IconTrace should run on any Amiga system with at least 512K RAM and one
disk-drive. IconTrace requires KickStart v2.04 or higher to run. Special
care has been taken in the program design to make the program work with
68020, 68030 and 68040 processors without sacrificing 68000 compatibility.

IconTrace also requires the ReqTools.library v38 or higher. ReqTools is
copyright © 1992, 1993 by Nico François.

IconTrace is KickStart 3.0 compatible and aware. It will show you some of
the new features available with this version of the operating system.
