The Microsoft interface does not permit detaching from a process after debugging has started. Therefore, if TracePlus is terminated, it will also terminate all processes being traced. Stopping the trace will not detach TracePlus from a process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure that if you are tracing a server application, leave the TracePlus32 application running after stopping the trace, or terminate the server application, and restart it (be sure that TracePlus32 is not running or the trace is stopped before starting the server application again). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TracePlus32 can trace a Win32 console application. To do this, launch the console application from TracePlus32. See the topic "Setting Filters" in the help file for more details on this procedure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TracePlus32 does not trace 16 bit Windows applications. ========================================================================= GENERAL NOTES The trace buffer size is limited to storing up to 500 most recent trace records. The monochrome, file, and printer log options in the Options dialog box will also be disabled.
