1	System Requirements

	CCAT for Windows NT (Intel) has the following system requirements:

	o	Your system must have Intel architecture.

	o	The following software must already be installed and                            configured:

		-	Windows NT Version 4.0 Service Pack 3 or higher

		-	Crash Analysis Data Collector (CADC)

	o	You need at least 4MB of available disk space

	o	You must have Windows NT administrator privileges in order to                 install or de-install CCAT



2	New Functionality

	o	The CCAT Parser has been updated to handle certain types of                     edited Crash Data files.  The analysis process was failing due                  to embedded characters showing up in the crash data.

	o	The Windows-NT footprints have been updated to add new fields                   for stop code analysis, driver timestamp processing and stack                   trace matching.

	o	A SICL file transfer issue on Windows-NT systems has been                       resolved. The new code reduces the file size to less than 30 KB                 for Notification messages shipped to DSNlink for SICL call                      logging operations.

	o	Example test files have been supplied for analysis process                      verification. A sample crash data file for each OS has been                     added to the CCAT Examples directory.

	o	A problem with Service Cockpit being able to launch the CCAT                    GUI from the Cockpit interface has been resolved.



3	Known Issues

	There are no known issues with CCAT V3.1 for OpenVMS/Alpha.
