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.
