Utilities

This option will display an optional menu of additional utility programs. The exact list of programs given will depend on the options set up by the system administrator, see Adding items to the "Utilities" menu for more information.

Crash Handling

This is only available on Windows platforms. It maps the GUI which can be used to configure how crashes are handled, also allowing you to configure whether and how emails containing crash dump files are sent back to Oasys Ltd Support.

This feature is present in Oasys SHELL mainly so that the installer of the software can configure crash handling and emails centrally, it is an optional part of the installation process on Windows. There is no reason for a user not to use it to make local configuration changes but in some Enterprise installations some settings (set via preferences) may be locked at the Admin or Install levels.

For a full description of this see the section on Emailing Crash Dumps to Support.
