    If my application crashes in the field, it produces an .evt file. Is
    this the equivalent of a 'core' file in unix? Is there some way to take
    the file and run it against the debugger in VC++6.0?

    If not, is there any tool (or documentation) to help debug WIN32 apps
    that fail in the field short of loading up the IDE on the computer where
    it fails?

    Thanks,
    Rob
