Overview
--------
  TOxygenDirectorySpy component allows you to watch file system changes
including file or directory creation, access, removing, changing size
and attributes. The heart of this component is in that unlike plenty of
similar tools, it returns the precise name of a directory or a file having been
changed, along with former and current values of changed parameters.
  You can watch file system changes even on network drives.
  Now you can monitor multiple directories including their subdirectories. 

  This component is shareware. Registered version without nag-screen includes
100% source code and costs $25.

  This component is compatible with Borland Delphi 3,4,5.

  The author disclaims all warranties as to this software, whether express
