Snooper (SNOOPER.EXE) is an all-purpose program for finding text
strings in any file of any size.
Snooper blasts through spreadsheets, program files (like
BASICA.COM), or any kind of disk file and snoops out hidden
messages.
To use Snooper, enter SNOOPER FILENAME.EXT [/O] at the DOS
prompt. (If you want to see each string's offset in the file, use
the optional /O switch.) Try Snooper on COMMAND.COM, for example,
and you'll see arcane messages like ``Top level process aborted,
cannot continue.'' You can use the program with redirection
commands or filters:
SNOOPER \TP\TURBO.EXE | FIND "Mermaid"
Snooper runs on any IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible with at
least 64K of memory, and DOS 2.0 or higher.
For more information on Snooper, see the "Programming Power"
column in this issue's magazine.
