[comp.sys.mac.apps] Mac Auditing program is available

mxmora@unix.SRI.COM (Matt Mora) (10/03/90)

Mac Auditor is a program that allows you to scan volumes for Applications,
Startup Documents (INIT), Control Panel Devices (CDEV) and Stacks. Its used
primarily by auditors to make sure that the employee's machine have only
registered software on there machines. (Companies don't like to be sued over
petty things like software piracy) :-)


There is not much to the program. Its basically a cataloging program.  The next
version will be a full functioning application  with printing and non modal
behavior and maybe some kind of virus protection (I hope). There will also be
a different version of this program available from Software Publishers
Association (SPA). They have commissioned me to make the Mac version of their
SPAudit program that is available for the IBM PC. (I just love porting over
IBM PC programs to the Mac, making them a thousand times better  and watching
the clients jaws drop as they see how much better, easier and faster  it is
on the Mac) :-)

This is a warning to all the big companies around the world that SPA is gearing
up to audit YOU :-)

Our internal auditors here at SRI were the beta testing team and they just
loved this program.
Its made their job much easier.  If you would like more information on how to
prepare and setup your company for auditing feel free to contact me and I will
put in contact with our internal auditors who just love talking about this 
stuff. They just had a convetion here at SRI about auditing Personal computers.

This program has been posted to comp.binaries.mac and to sumex-aim.stanford.edu
If you would like to try it and don't want to wait for them to be posted, you
can send me email and I will send you a copy.

This program is shareware but you are allowed to try it for 10 days and if
you continue to use it , then you must register it. (or you will be commiting
the exact crime that this program is trying to prevent ) :-)
