ABOUT:
------
SysInspector is a complete system monitor for AmigaOS.  It allows you to 
view what tasks are currently running on your system and suspend or kill 
them, remove locks left behind by buggy applications, generate mountlists 
for mounted devices, and much more!


The main goals while developping it were:

 o Stability and reliability - you want to remove crashed tasks, not to 
   crash another one.

 o Usefulness - it must allow you to do more than just view what's on your 
   system.

 o A modern, font-adaptive, and easy-to-use GUI, by using the ClassAct
   BOOPSI toolkit.  No cryptic commands to remember, it's all presented 
   with a very intuitive GUI.

 o Be useful for both the casual user who's only curious and for the 
   advanced user who needs to remove crashed tasks or libraries.

 o User-configurability.


SysInspector requires at least Kickstart 3.0 or better, and the ClassAct 
BOOPSI classes installed on your system.  The latest ClassAct archive can 
be found at ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/classact/ and 
ftp://ftp.warped.com/pub/amiga/classact/


SysInspector is released as non-crippled Shareware.  The asked fee is 
15$ US.  Please help keeping the Amiga alive by supporting Amiga authors.



CHANGES SINCE 1.3:
------------------

       ° NEW: "Timer Requests" and "Resident DOS cmds" added to the list 
         types.

       ° NEW: Added "Intuition Settings..." to the Tools menu.
       
       ° NEW: "PUBSCREEN" argument/tooltype.

       ° NEW: Added support for Jason Hulance's "Explorer" (included in 
         this archive along with a pre-made datafile).

       ° NEW: You can now open a new public screen from the "Screens/Windows" 
         list.  Note that I have no intention of turning SysInspector into 
         a full-featured public screen manager, so don't expect any fancy 
         feature.

       ° Fixed problems with RAM: DOS locks.  The "Scan RAM: locks" prefs 
         option is now gone.

       ° New pictogram for Assigns.

       ° Message Ports priority is now editable.

       ° Iconifying when there was no icon available would use a garbled 
         icon (built-in icon had a wrng PlanePick value).

       ° boards.library 2.17 included (now recognizes 375 boards).

       ° Some changes to the listbrowser V42 support to match with the 
         latest changes in the current beta.

       ° Animated "About" is back for button.gadget V41 (a forecoming 
         update of the gadget will eliminate the flicker).

       ° Fixed potential Enforcer hits when saving prefs would fail.

       ° Now uses 32-bits maths to calculate the largest block percentage 
         in the More window when displaying a memory node.

       ° Saving the content of the More window would display the wrong 
         address for the displayed object if you were using formatted 
         hex values.

       ° Some changes to the Screenmode ModeID sort code, fixing some 
         occasional problems with it.

       ° After signaling a task, will wait for 3 secs instead of just one 
         before checking if it's gone.

       ° Some changes to the "More" display for tasks and processes.

       ° Note that the Warped FTP site is often behind with classes 
         releases.  I advise you check ftp://ftp.thule.no/pub/classact/ 
         instead to obtain the latest ClassAct archive.

       ° I'll be probably be moving during spring '98, so please Email me 
         first before sending me any regular mail or registration fee.
