CurrProcess v1.11
Copyright (c) 2003 - 2005 Nir Sofer
Description
===========
CurrProcess utility displays the list of all processes currently running
on your system. For each process, you can view the list of all modules
(DLL files) that the process loads into memory. for all processes and
modules, additional useful information is also displayed: product name,
version, company name, description of the file, the size of the file, and
more.
In addition, CurrProcess allows you to do the following actions:
* Change the priority of a process.
* Kill a process.
* Dump memory of process into a text file.
* Create HTML report containing information about a process with the
list of all modules that it loads into memory.
* Save the list of all running processes into text or HTML file.
* Copy process or module information to the clipboard.

System Requirement
==================
This utility works properly under Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000,
and Windows XP. If you want to run this utility on Windows NT, you should
download the 'psapi.dll' and place it in your system32 directory.
Using The CurrProcess Utility
=============================
This utility is a standalone executable, so it doesn't require any
installation process or additional DLLs. Just run the executable
(cprocess.exe) and start using it. There is only one exception: If you
want to run this utility on Windows NT, you should download the
'psapi.dll', and copy it into the system32 folder.
The main window of CurrProcess utility contains 2 panes:
* The upper pane displays the list of all processes currently running
on your system. The list is automatically updated when a new process is
loaded or an existing process is terminated.
* When you select a single process in the upper pane, the lower pane
displays the list of all modules that the selected process loaded into
memory. By default, the modules list of a process is not automatically
updated when a module is loaded or unloaded from memory. If you want to
automatically update the modules pane of the selected process, select
the 'Automatic Refresh' option under the Module menu. Be aware that
this option consumes more CPU resources.
In both panes, you can change the order of the columns by dragging them
to the desired position, or by using the 'Choose Columns' dialog-box.
Dumping Process Memory To File
==============================
CurrProcess utility allows you to scan a range of memory addresses of
process, and dump all its content into a text file. The text file created
in this way contains the memory data in hexadecimal format as well as in
ascii format.
Notice:
* If you select a large range of memory addresses, the memory dump file
may become very very large. Be careful when you select the desired
memory range and verify that you have enough disk space. However, if
during the memory dumping process you see that the file becomes very
large, you can always stop the dumping process by pressing the 'stop'
button.
* Not all memory addresses are valid for a process. If you select a
range of invalid memory addresses, you'll get an empty dump file.
Command-Line Options
====================
/pmhtml <Process> <Filename>
Creates process-modules HTML report for the specified process. In the
<Process> parameter, you can specify only the name of the process (e.g.:
'explorer', 'explorer.exe', "iexplore") or the full path of the process
filename (e.g.: 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe'). You
can also specify the ProcessID, by adding the '/' character as a prefix
(e.g. /1560).
Examples:
cprocess /pmhtml explorer.exe c:\temp\explorer.html
cprocess /pmhtml /944 c:\temp\explorer.html
cprocess /pmhtml "F:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
c:\temp\iexplore.html
/pmtext <Process> <Filename>
Similar to /pmhtml, but the report is saved to text file instead of HTML
file.
/pmtabular <Process> <Filename>
Similar to /pmhtml, but the report is saved to tabular text file instead
of HTML file.
/stext <Filename>
Saves the list of all processes into a regular text file.
/stab <Filename>
Saves the list of all processes into a tab-delimited text file.
/stabular <Filename>
Saves the list of all processes into a tabular text file.
/shtml <Filename>
Saves the list of all processes into horizontal HTML file.
/sverhtml <Filename>
