I used to use a symbolic debugger on a dynix/ptx system that gave me a list of all kinds of good stuff from a core file.<br>
<br>
Have a look for something called sdb<br>

<br>"file core.xxxxxx" should tell you what command created<br>the core file, if that's all you need. Otherwise use<br>crash, adb, or something similar to examine the core file.<br><br><br><br>
 
A core file is an image of a process that has been terminated in certain ways. Normaly seen after a process crashes. It contains information about what was going on with that process and it's system resources at the time of the crash to assist with diagnostics. <br>
As well as the afore mentioned tools you could also try the &quot;strings&quot; command which should pull out any readable text. <br>
Note, check for any error reports on the system console at the time of the core file creation, this may give you an address that can be checked in the core file. <p>Ged Jones<br><a href=mailto:gedejones@hotmail.com>gedejones@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
