In addition, the site's DTraq section (www.mckae.com/dtraq) has been updated with a walkthrough of DTraq capabilities and screenshots illustrating its operation. Modifications for DTraq 0.970 were mostly internal, fixing minor bugs and reducing system-dependencies so as to ease porting to other platforms. The one visible change is that the Data Viewer can now display the raw memory content of logged data items, rather than just the interpreted forms. See the screenshots and the DTraq User Manual, (www.mckae.com/dtq_common/DTraq.pdf) for more information. Marc A. Criley mcNOSPAM@mckae.com -- You know what to remove... McKae Technologies "The Efficient Production of Reliable Software" ------------------------------------------------------------------- DTraq is a data logging and playback debugging tool providing near realtime data logging and analysis to aid debugging and validation. Captured, or 'tapped' data from a program can be viewed live while the program is running or, since it is being logged to a file, played back or printed out later for off-line review and analysis. DTraq differs from other logging and playback tools in that no data layout maps or byte interpretations or "data dumpers" need to be manually created. Nor is the application responsible for converting the raw binary data to text form before logging it. DTraq handles all conversion automatically by scanning the application's source code, identifying tapped data items, and extracting the information it needs to properly convert and display the logged items-simple scalar items as well as arrays and records. When the layout of data items change, rescanning automatically picks up the changes.
