The Microsoft Windows System Debugging Log Application (DBWIN.EXE) allows you to see messages produced by the debugging version of Windows even if you are not using a debugging terminal or debugging application. DBWIN.EXE allows you to control the kinds of messages that are displayed and to save your preferences in the WIN.INI file. DBWIN.EXE also provides a feature that allows you to test the performance of your application during out-of-memory failures.
The Microsoft Windows Dr. Watson application detects system and application failures and can store information in a disk file. This program can help you find and fix problems in your applications. For more information about it, see Chapter 6, “Analyzing System Failures: Dr. Watson.”
