Trace Tools

The following tools are available to all interested parties.

Source code for DOS and Novell Netware tools

These tools require the Watcom 10.0 compiler and associated development tools.
  • byu_disk.c is the source code for a Novell Loadable Module for Netware 4.X. This NLM collects disk trace information.
  • byu_disk.mak is the makefile for byu_disk.c and relies on having the Watcom compiler tools.
  • byutrace.h is a header file defining trace formats for byu_disk.c.
  • dosinst.c modifies the disk device driver provided by Novell or a disk controller vendor to work with this tool.
  • makefile is the global makefile for building all of the tools.
  • p5timer.asm provides a very accurate time stamp, but relies on Pentium specific registers.
  • puttrace.c extracts the disk trace data from the buffer created by byu_disk and writes it to disk.
  • puttrace.mak is called by makefile to compile and link puttrace.

Executable and loadable DOS and Novell Netware tools

  • readme is the simple instructions on how to install and use these tools. More documentation will be generated in the future.
  • byu_disk.nlm is a Novell Loadable Module for Netware 4.X. This NLM collects disk trace information.
  • puttrace.nlm is a Novell Loadable Module for Netware 4.X. This NLM writes the collected disk trace data to disk.
  • dosinst.exe is a DOS executable that is run in the Netware server directory and modifies the disk device (*.dsk) file(s).
