Notes:

§                  Options that relate to cache directories and instrumented files apply only to runs of native-compiled (unmanaged) programs.

§                  By default, cached files are stored in the PurifyPlus cache directory.

§                  PureCoverage uses the following search order to locate source files:

1.    The directory where the program you're monitoring is located.

2.    The search path specified in the Files tab in the Settings for <exename> dialog box.

3.    For Visual C++ programs, the directories specified in the Visual Studio Workspace file.

4.    The search path specified in the Files tab in the Default Settings dialog box.

5.    For Visual C++ programs, the MFC and Visual C++ directories.

6.    The PATH environment variable.

7.    Source path substitution specified in the Source Code tab of the Preferences dialog box.

§                  For native-compiled (unmanaged) programs, if you don't specify an instrumented file name, PureCoverage uses the default name (the encoded path of the original file, along with other information used by PureCoverage).

§                  PureCoverage saves settings for the current program in the <exename>_pure.ini file. These settings apply each time you run the selected program, until you change a setting. To set default settings that apply to all programs, use the Default Settings dialog box.
