Announcing the release of InspectA, version 1.10.



 For the - MSDOS operating system, version 3.3 and above,

           OS/2 operating system, version 1.2 and above



 What is InspectA?

 -----------------



 InspectA is a combined File, Archive and FidoNet mail manager. It provides

 many facilities combined and built into a very usable and flexible front-end

 shell. The user interface resolves around the "point and shoot" concept, easy

 and intuitive to understand and use. Both mouse and keyboard operation are

 supported.



 The File Manager fully supports 4DOS file description and BBS FILES.BBS for

 viewing, editing, copying and moving files. Keys may be 'programmed' to run

 any other external program you like, optionally taking advantage of

 InspectA's built-in file marking facilities, passing filenames on the command

 line individually, in groups, or in a "response file". External file viewers

 and manipulators may be easily hooked in and triggered by matching a given

 file specification with any selected file.



 InspectA supports all common compressed archive formats, including ZIP, ARC

 (version 5-7), LHA, SQZ, ZOO and HPACK. InspectA provides the ability to

 easily extract or delete files in groups or individually, add to existing

 archives, edit or view specific files.



 For FidoNet operators, it provides many viewing and management facilities

 which simply do not exist in any other tool; FTS-0001 *.MSG files can be

 viewed simply by selecting them in the Files Manager, raw FTS-0001 type-2,

 type-2+ and type-2.2 packets may be easily viewed and manipulated (unpacked

 to *.MSG format, split, sorted, exported to text, individual messages

 deleted). InspectA can also determine the source or destination address on

 mail bundles, and can optionally display this information.



 InspectA 1.10 is available for both MS-DOS 3.3 and above and OS/2 1.2 and

 above (including full support for HPFS and OS/2 2.x). InspectA runs as a

 text mode application under both operating systems, and fully supports

 extended EGA, VGA and SVGA text modes where available.



 InspectA is being released and distributed as shareware, available for use

 for an evaluation period of up to 21 days. All features of the commercial

 version are available in the shareware release.

 PGP Digital Signatures

 ----------------------



 The release archives contain PGP 2.2 digital signatures for the executable

 files supplied in the release package. If you are concerned that the files

 may have been tampered with or otherwise contain a virus infection introduced

 at some point after release, then you can use PGP to ensure that the signature

 matches the file you have.



 If you doubt the validity of the signatures in the archive, we would be more

 than happy to email you a copy. Alternatively, you can obtain these directly

 by downloading them from our support BBS in Australia, or by FidoNet file

 request from 3:632/348 or 3:632/103, requestable as "INSP110S.SIG" (or

 "INSP110R.SIG" for the registered version).



 By adding the PGP signature below to your public keyring, you can verify both

 the validity of the signatures and subsequently the executables themselves.
