Reading a DOORS-*.dmp file

Is there any other tool, preferably a free one, that can read DOORS dump files besides windbg.exe?

Thanks,

Tara

Hi Tara, there is a free version of Hexrays IDA which you can try. Apart from that unfortunately I did not ever try to load a dump file to the debugger. Most of the times the crashes are pretty obvious, so there are easier ways to find it. Are you looking for the specific reason for some crash?

Regards, Mathias

Thanks for your reply, Matthias.  I finally determined the reason for the exception violation the code was drawing, independent

of reading the dmp file.  It was a "DOORS thing", i.e., not something you'd encounter in programming in a

language such as C++ or Java.
