Introduction	DebugView/EE (Enterprise Edition) is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debug output, so you don’t need a debugger to catch the debug output your applications or device drivers generate . DebugView/EE works on NT4.0, Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) Beta 3 , Windows 95 and Windows 98. To run DebugView/EE on Windows 95 you must get the WinSock2 update from Microsoft.
DebugView/ Enterprise Edition	Version 3.0 of DebugView marks the introduction of DebugView/Enterprise Edition. This major revision has numerous significant enhancements over previous versions that make DebugView more powerful and versatile than ever: Remote monitoring: Capture kernel-mode and/or Win32 debug output from any computer accessible via TCP/IP - even across the Internet. You can monitor multiple remote computers simultaneously. DebugView/EE will even install its client software itself if you are running it on a Windows NT/2K system and are capturing from another Windows NT/2K system in the same Network Neighborhood. Most-recent-filter lists: DebugView/EE remembers your most recent filter selections, with an interface that makes it easy to reselect them. Process ID option: Toggle the display of process IDs for Win32 debug output. Clipboard copy: Select multiple lines in the output window and copy their contents to the clipboard. Highlighting: Highlight debug output that matches your highlighting filter, and even customize the highlighting colors. Log-to-file: Write debug output to a file as its being captured. Printing: Print all or part of captured debug output to a printer. One-file payload: DebugView/EE is now implemented as one file. Crash-Dump Support: DebugView/EE can recover its buffers from a crash dump and save the output to a log file so that users can send you the output your NT driver generated right up to the time of a crash. The on-line help-file describes all these features, and more, in detail.
Installation and Use	Simply execute the DebugView/EE program file (dbgview.exe) and DebugView/EE will immediately start capturing debug output. Note that if you run DebugView/EE on Windows NT/2K dbgview.exe must be located on a non-network drive and you must have administrative privilege. Menus, hot-keys, or toolbar buttons can be used to clear the window, save the monitored data to a file, search output, change the window font, and more. The on-line help describes all of DebugView/EE's features. Under Windows 9x DebugView/EE will capture output from the following sources: Win32 OutputDebugString Kernel-mode Out_Debug_String Kernel-mode _Debug_Printf_Service Under Windows NT and Win2k DebugView/EE will capture: Win32 OutputDebugString Kernel-mode DebugPrint
Sample Screenshot	This is a screenshot of DebugView capturing Win32 debug output from a remote system. Note the presence of a highlighting filter.
