Notes:

§      The availability of relocation data, debug line data, and symbol data affects the level at which Purify can perform instrumentation. For more information, click images\shortcut.gif

§      Use the Modules tab in the Properties dialog box after the program has exited to see exactly how Purify instrumented each module. Purify's default instrumentation for error checking is based on the size of each module in the program and the availability of debug data, so modules may occasionally be instrumented at a level that you did not intend.

§      Purify saves settings for all programs in the Purifyw_pure.ini file. These settings apply for all future runs of all programs. To override a default setting for a specific program, use the Settings for exename dialog box.
