NOTES ON 32 BIT VERSIONS OF TRACEPLUS

32 bit versions of TracePlus use the standard Microsoft 
defined debugging interface for Win32 applications. 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 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.
