--------------------------- EavesDropper - Version 1.0 Compatible with 1.3 and 2.x © 1992 by Brian Moats Polyglot Software 884 W. Melrose Ln. Boise, ID 83706 208-336-4583 --------------------------- EavesDropper lets you keep a record of everything that is typed on your computer. With it you can find out what someone else did, or recover information after a crash. EavesDropper collects printable characters until a non-printable key is pressed. At that time, it appends the characters to a file. You may run EavesDropper from the shell or Workbench. A file name is required on the command line or in the Tool Types of the icon. A "quiet" option is allowed to suppress program starting and terminating information. USAGE From the shell or in your s:startup-sequence (or s:User-Startup): EavesDropper filename quiet (JUMPDISK NOTE: As an example to run the program from this issue, the try this Shell command: j:eavesdropper/eavesdropper ram:hold quiet ... then type for a while to collect a recording of the data. Then call up the RAM:HOLD file with Ed or your favorite word processor, to see the result.) From the Workbench: Enter in the Tool Types gadget: FILENAME=filename QUIET=FALSE (or, QUIET=TRUE) If placed in your WBSTARTUP drawer, add this to the Tool Types: DONOTWAIT On floppy based systems, the disk access may be bothersome. You may create a rad: drive and save your file to it. See your AmigaDOS manual. The capture file may become quite large after a few days, so you may wish to periodically delete or edit it. If you request a file that cannot be opened, and if you select "Okay" from the system requester, the requester will come back whenever EavesDropper tries to write to the unopened file. END OF TEXT
