Welcome to Windows NT Support Tools. These tools are provided as troubleshooting
and development tools for working with Microsoft Windows NT Server and Workstation,
versions 3.51 and 4.0, including all Service Pack revisions.
These tools have been developed for the x86 and Alpha platform.

2.0 What's included in the NT support tools version 2
-----------------------------------------------------

There are four tools/set of tools:

1. New debugger extensions to facilitate examination and analysis of a wider
   range of kernel data structures than is conveniently possible today, 
   especially when dealing with crash dumps. This set of tools will be
   referred to as the "Kernel Debugger Extensions".

2. Tools for memory pool caller-tracking/tail-checking, pool logging, pool
   free block pattern fill, and increasing available pool statistics. 
   This set of tools will be referred to as the "Pool Enhancements".

3. A heuristics-based kernel memory crash dump analysis tool to aid in
   diagnosing memory corruption problems. This tool discovers and analyzes
   anomalies in the kernel memory space and will be referred to as the
   "Kernel Memory Space Analyzer".

4. A tool that allows users to create dump files from any Win32 process, such
   as csrss.exe or explorer.exe, that can be examined using Windows Debugger.
   The tool allows for manual creation of dump files via the command line or
   hot-key, or automatic creation when exceptions occur in monitored processes.
   This set of tools will be referred to as the "User Mode Process Dump".
