What are the odds that every Windows user has experienced a General
Protection Fault (GPF), Fatal Application Error (FAE) or some condition
that caused Windows to just "freeze-up"? I'd say pretty good.

The Pentone Group has recently released a new product that actually helps
end users avoid these messages and straightens the learning curve as to why
these messages appear. It is currently being used by individuals at AT&T,
General Electric, Bell South and a myriad of consulting firms across
America to name a few.

The product is called ModPeek32. It is targeted for Windows 95 and NT. If
you use ModPeek32 to view an executable file, it spills out a treeview-like
hierarchical representation of the file dependencies that the executable
requires to correctly operate. Not only will it tell you the DLL's, VBX's,
OCX's and DRV's that it needs, it also reveals other rarely uncovered
requirements like HLP, DAT, MDB, TXT, INI files that are also needed.

Above is only the tip of the pyramid of information ModPeek32 provides.
Some other features are the target operating system and version, the
imbedded module version, product version, copyright and patent information
and even the language that the executable was written in. ModPeek32 lets
you select any branch of the interpreted hierarchy and displays the same
information on these selected dependencies as well.

Network administrators are using ModPeek32 to help them relocate entire
applications to new directory structures across the network. They can
easily narrow client workstation problems down to the ShareWare program
that overwrote their delicately balanced DLL requirements.

Programmers are using it to ensure they are using the correct versions of
DLL's, VBX's and OCX's. They can easily spill out all of the files they
need to create their final distribution set and avoid missing a file,
sending out a wrong version of a DLL and so on.

Quality Assurance personnel are using it to give meaningful feedback to
programmers on the problems they encounter while testing in-house
development results. They are finding that they now see a larger picture of
why programs crash in testing.

Tech Support personnel are arranging that their company distribute modified
ModPeek32 versions slaved to their product for the end user's benefit when
trouble calls come in. ODBC and OLE driver problems are quickly and
efficiently revealed and solved leaving the customer satisfied in a shorter
period of time.

If you can use a product of this caliber in your organization, contact The
Pentone Group at 407-381-9246 or anthonyf@nebula.ispace.com for more
information.
