Message-ID: Date: 19 Oct 90 15:28:18 GMT Sender: news@crdgw1.crd.ge.com Reply-To: barnett@crdgw1.ge.com Organization: GE Corp. R & D, Schenectady, NY Lines: 14 We have a researcher here who was running a large Smalltalk program for several days, when the program core dumped. This program is one *Large* memory resident image with no File I/O, processes, etc. He wants to try to recover the data, as was wondering if the core file could be patched enough to let him restart the program and get a listing out. SunOS 4. Anyone have any tips. I have briefly looked an unexec in GNU emacs sources, but haven't comprehended it yet. Send me mail, and I will summarize. Thanks! -- Bruce G.
