File Menu Item – Save As: This option allows the user to save the SEL data to a file,
with the ".sel" file name extension, either in interpreted text format or in raw hex
format, depending on the mode in which records are currently displayed.
The interpreted text format files contain the SEL properties in the first lines followed
by a blank line and the column headings. The SEL file format is specified as an ASCII-
readable file, with each field delimited to a TAB and each system event ending with a
carriage return/line feed. The columns might not line up to allow for this file to be
opened by programs such as Microsoft Excel.
The raw hex format files also contain the SEL properties in the first lines followed by a
blank line. These files contain the SEL records in raw hexadecimal format, as read
from the server. This SEL file format is specified as an ASCII-readable file, with each
system event ending with a carriage return/line feed.
This option also provides the user with the ability to select drives and directories by
browsing, as shown in Figure 6. If the SEL data cannot be saved or the file cannot be
created or overwritten, the program displays error messages accordingly.
File Menu Item – Exit: This option allows the user to exit the utility.
Pull-Down Menu – SEL: The SEL pull-down menu includes options for reloading
SEL entries from the server, clearing the SEL entries, viewing SEL properties, and
sorting the entries by different column fields. These options are further described in
the sections below.
SEL Menu Item – Reload: This option allows the user to reload the SEL entries from the
server. This operation is similar to the one performed when the SEL Viewer is first
invoked. The records are displayed either in the hex format or in the interpreted
format, depending on the set display mode. The status box shown in Figure 3 on page
103 is displayed to indicate that the SEL Viewer is loading SEL records from the
