Where can one get Spy++ or something similar?

[Al Smith]

Hi,
I'm starting to dink around with windows handles and I've seen a lot of mention of Spy++. Where can I find it or something similar?

Thanks,
Al.

I wrote a program exactly like Spy++ but it gives you only the handle of the window. If you want me to send it you, reply and tell me your email address

SPY++ is included in Disc 1 (VS-6) in the COMMON\TOOLS Directory

I think Al Smith might not have (VS-6), so he probally is trying to find out where he may download just Spy++.

Al Here is something similar.

'Here is the source for a spy proggie.
