Some years ago Tom Kihlken wrote a DOS app called recorder which would list and count files touched – created, read, written. His purpose was to support RAM disk – speed performance by putting most frequently used files in RAM disk. I am looking for a tool which does this to speed trouble-shooting when an app runs fine on one workstation and not another (which are theoretically supposed to be the same core load). Thought is to go to the workstation on which the app runs, close everything down except Windows NT4.0, load the “recorder,” load the app, run it for a while, note the files (DLLs, etc.) read, get names and date-stamps, then look at the workstation that cannot run the app – see if some are missing or older. I haven’t been able to find a Windows NT 4.0 version of this tool.
