AB The placement of trace points in software code being developed in a
software development tool leads to the generation of trace point messages
when the code is executed. These trace point messages are listened for by
aspects of the software development tool. Responsive to receiving one of
the trace point messages, the software development tool may write
information to a trace file. Advantageously, the trace file is formatted
using a standard markup language format, such as HTML. Consequently, the
trace file is readily readable (including information-conveying
formatting) by a standard, freely available web browser, rather than a
proprietary tool.
NTE Subject to any Disclaimer, the term of this patent is extended or
adjusted under 35 USC 154(b) by 749 days.

1. A method of manipulating a program execution trace file located in a
computer readable medium, said method performed by a data processing unit
executing predetermined computer programmed instructions, comprising:
receiving a trace point message; reading trace point data from said trace
point message; and writing said trace point data to said program
