Microsoft OS/2 SDK 2.0 05-30-1990

The spy32 program and dynamic link library spyhk32.dll, is a 32 bit flat
model application that hooks the HK_INPUT and/or HK_SENDMSG hooks, and spys
on what messages are sent to which window.  This program is a conversion of
the original segmentated spy.exe.  Note: Spy32 currently does not support
all of the features of Spy.


The application currently has two threads:
  1) The main thread controls the user interface.
  2) The second thread waits for messages from the hooks.

Features on spy.exe that are not supported in spy32.exe
    List Near Symbol: The undocumented interface used for this has has
                been removed.  Note: this feature does not work in spy.exe
                on OS/2 2.0 either.

    Send Message Outputs -> Call Stack: spy.exe used to give a stack
                traceback of up to 5 levels deep.  This is now very
                difficult as you can not reliably detect 32 bit calls
                from local calls.
