This resumption may take place days later, even after a reboot. I understand that something called "undump" exists which will do such a thing from a core file. My questions are these: Is there an FTP site where I can find such an animal? Can it reliably resume a process from any core file? How dependent is it on platform type? I'm using a tahoe running HCX/UX (SYS V w/ Berkeley extensions) and have had "fair" luck porting both SYS V & BSD applications here. Does anyone have any better ideas for doing this? I know that some debuggers do this type of thing, but most of the code is in Ada, so the popular symbolic debuggers won't work. I can interface to C code, so conventional C-language solutions are welcomed. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M.
