### Postmortem Information Dialog

Note: This dialog is only available on OS/2.

The Postmortem Information dialog opens when you select a postmortem dump file to debug and you click on Postmortem info.

This dialog provides the following information about the dump file you are using:

- The level of operating system that was running when the dump file was created
- A list of all executables and dynamic load libraries (DLLs) that were used by the program that caused the dump file to be created
- For each listed executable or DLL, whether is available ("found") on the machine you are doing the postmortem debugging from
- For each executable or DLL that is found, whether the version found on your system matches the version in the dump file.

If the comment for an executable or DLL indicates that it was not found on your system, you will not have access to debug information for that module, so you cannot debug source code or view the contents of variables used in that module.

If the comment indicates that the executable or DLL was found but did not match, the debug information in that module is of questionable value, because variables, code, or function entry points may be at different addresses within the module on your machine and on the machine where the dump occurred.
