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 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 ) :-) -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@sri.com SRI International | my unix mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
