What is Scout?
==============
Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It
displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns,
expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you
can perform some certain actions on them.
For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release
semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts.
Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as an TCP/IP service.
Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented
functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary
to install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI, if you want
to use Scout with its graphical user interface.
The archive 'scout25.lha' includes the release version 2.5 of scout.
Changes from release 2.4 to release 2.5:
========================================
o Fixed small bug in the display of expansion data (AmiTCP).
o Changed window titles by using Scout as TCP/IP client.
=¦^)
o The option 'STARTUP' can also be used for single ARexx
commands.
Example:
1> scout startup "OpenWindow Tasks"
o Now there's no border for an active object by opening
a list window. If you want to use the cursor keys for the
listview gadgets, you have to press TAB first.
o Added command 'PrintList <ListCharacter> <FileName>'.
This command is available via ARexx and shell (as parameter).
o Small memory eating bug fixed. It only appeared by using
Scout as client or daemon (TCP/IP).
o Now the expansion list window also includes informations
about the processor(s) and the custom chips.
o Patch output removed ('Patches installed!').
o Some minor bug fixes made.
