SYMPTOMS
========

When using the Trace Viewer (Tracevwr.exe) tool to print traces obtained by the
SNA Trace Utility, the output data is truncated once the print job is complete.
Enabling or disabling the various trace filter options within the Trace Viewer
tool does not remedy the problem.

CAUSE
=====

Trace Viewer does not properly format the print output.

WORKAROUND
==========

Convert the trace file from its native format (.atf) to either Text or Delimited
Text format by using the 'File\Save As...' menu option. The saved file can then
be opened from within a text editor and printed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server, versions
3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 3.0 SP3, 3.0 SP4, 4.0, 4.0 SP1, 4.0 SP2, 4.0 SP3 .
