If you want to see Win95 modules (dll, exe, vbx, ocx, etc.) from a
different and problem solving perspective you have a chance to get a free
copy of ModPeek32 from The Pentone Group, Inc.

ModPeek32 is a Win95 program that displays a hierarchical representation
(branching tree) in its left pane of what files depend on what files. You
can then click anywhere on the left pane's dependency tree to see a
phenomenal amount of internal information in the right pane - not the least
of which is imbedded versioning information. It even tells you what
probable language modules were written in.

Using a tool like this can give you the bigger picture on General
Protection Faults (GPF's), Fatal Application Errors (FAE's), versioning
problems and module collisions that come with the installation of
Windows95-based software (and how it other programs in your system are
affected).

Network administrators can ease their burdens while relocating entire
applications to new directory structures. This hierarchical DLL reporting
utility and knowledge of the Registry can vault them ahead of the
troubleshooting process.

Programmers can quickly ensure their code is launching the correct OCX's,
VBX's and DLL's. This tool also allows them to see imbedded information
currently not available in any other comparable utility.

Quality Assurance personnel can finally give intelligent and constructive
feedback to the programmers they are hired to critique. With the internals
of modules revealed, they can easily make suggestions for problems drawing
on a growing level of versioning expertise gained through use of this tool.

Technical Support and Help Desk personnel benefit tremendously from this
utility's ability to show the end user exactly what they are talking about
when they say "You see, it's the wrong version number - look at the third
line down - you need to be loading the same file from another directory."
Pentone works with the Tech Support department head to develop cost-saving
agreements for parallel distribution of ModPeek32 with their product.

Of course, this utility shouldn't have had to even exist, right? The
Pentone Group's motto is "Elegant Solutions for Less Than Elegant Problems"
and these truly are. Give us a call. The at 407-859-2191 or visit the
Pentone web site at http://www.pentone.com at your leisure and set yourself
up for a free copy!
