Hi,
You need a debug program to open the .dmp files. If you'd like, you can send
it to me at the email address used here with a subject line of 'per req' to
get past the filters.
The article essentially is correct, but if you read carefully, it backs up
what I already stated, that the size limit is 4GB, not 2GB. The amount you
get to see is limited by the other factors dependent on the system.
