Hello Andrew!

 AG> I saved your posting, but will it dump an arbitrary program, and keep

It dumps any program if you know its PID value. You may use either
undocumented DosQProcStatus (16bit) and DosQuerySysState (32bit) or scan
thru switch entries to obtain PID.

 AG> EG, if my copy of Asymetrix, or the driver for my brand X CD failes,
 AG> can I get a dump and mail it to the supplier?

If you are able to catch harderr then you probably could :-)

 AG> I dont want my whole system down cos of some badly written
 AG> aapp/diver, and I want the evidence to mail to the suppleir.

So why won't you use DUMPPROCESS/SUPPRESSPOPUPS in config.sys?

Bye!
