- Stratoscope 11y agoI missed the now-deleted message you replied to, but if it was objecting to the term "Spy", that may be partly my fault. I wrote a Windows program called Spy back in 1987 for a BYTE Magazine article. Spy++ was inspired by this program, and true to its name, Spy++ was much better! Here's some old-school Windows programming, along with great ads for the hot computer products of the day: https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1987-12/1987_12_BYTE_12-14_AT_Memory_Boards_and_Naturla_Language_Processing#page/n101/mode/2up https://archive.org/stream/byte-magazine-1987-12/1987_12_BYT...
