Juergen,

I thought so too but just discovered a bunch of trace output files
on my Desktop! ;o

It's pretty sketchy. I would suggest you use it only to supplement
a netcap trace and see from that comparison what additional detail
it provides. It looks as if the most useful capability it has is to allow
tracing some API calls with their parameters and return codes.
