Utilities/!Snoop/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Snoop - A wimp utility by Paul Vigay !          
===============================================

Allows you to snoop on various wimp parameters from within the desktop.

Original version: 1.00 (27th September 1990)
                 Hopefully no bugs are present, but if you do find any 
                 please let me know.


!Snoop will give a dynamically updating display within the RISC OS desktop,
displaying the following:
                            Mouse X coordinate
                            Mouse Y coordinate
                            Next slot size (in K bytes)
                            Window handle and task title, under the pointer
                            Icon handle under the pointer
                            Icon flags under the pointer
                            Any 'non-directed' icon under the pointer

To cancel, just close the !Snoop window.
To Quit, select 'Quit' from !Snoop menu.
