Equipment:  Macintosh

Summary:  PowerTracer is a system ATrap and PowerPC function tracing and 
timing tool. Its objective is to show calling patterns and timing 
information for the Macintosh Toolbox. PowerTracer patches a very large 
list of system ATraps as well as functions in the PowerPC public 
interface library. The tool configures itself appropriately on 68k 
machines as well as PowerPC machines.

Features:  PowerTracer gives detailed trace output information including 
the execution architecture for each system function (i.e. 68k or 
PowerPC), execution architecture for the caller of a system function, and 
interrupt information. Trace information is collected in RAM and spooled 
to disk asynchronously.
