The File pull-down menu offers the following options:

New Dump

Select this option to decompress a new dump.

Notes:

For diskette dumps the DUMPDATA.nnn files may be copied for a directory on the hard drive and decompressed from there.

PMDF has the ability to decompress diskette images created by OS2IMAGE without re-creating the original diskettes. To use this facility each of the image file must be named image.nnn where nnn is a numeric sequence number that corresponds to the disk number.

Open Dump
This option prompts the user for the dump file name then invokes Dump Formatter.
Log Output
This option prompts the user to start or stop logging output to a file. Data may be appended to an existing log file.
Save Output
This option allows the user to save all output displayed in the PMDF scrollable window.
Connect
Connect allows PMDF to be used as a terminal emulator to drive a Kernel Debugger session. See the Kernel Debugger User Guide for more information.
Disconnect
Disconnect terminated the communications session with the Kernel Debugger.

The following diagram illustrates the File pull-down menu options.
