    Does anyone still remember DumpBin?

    Matt was just asking me how to see the function calls in a dll so I said the usual:

    B: Reflector, OLEView, Depends?
    M: No, non COM/.NET
    B: OH? [This is me thinking about what I used to use, can’t remember and so I asked my friend in the UK Phill, he reminds me and makes me look brilliant]
    B: Oh right DumpBin /export

    I couldn’t believe I forgot how I used to look at Win32 dlls.  Does anyone else remember tools they used to use but are long gone?

    BTW - it seems that my trusty copy of Depends.exe allows me to look into the function calls. Of course, it only gives me names, not parameters.

    Oh yeah, earlier this week in fact I told someone to grep for something.

    *stare*

    He had no idea what that meant. Isn't that sad?

    (For you youngsters, today's equivalent adjective is "Google it" I think :-))
