The program can be placed in trace mode by pressing both the "Ctrl" and a number ("1" to "5") keys at the same time.

 

When the program is in trace mode, a DOS window will pop-up.  All trace messages will go to that window.  The content of that window will also be saved in a file named "sliceO_Trace.dat" in the scratch directory (by default "c:\temp").

 

Depending on the selected trace level ("1" is TRACE_1 the lowest, and "5" is TRACE_5) you will have more or less information in your trace.
