There are packages for > that, but they certainly don't involve undumping core files. Check SunOS... there is an undump type program (forget it's name) which allows you to take something like perl or (AFAIR) smalltalk, and run them with a piece of code to compile. Once compiled, the compiled code calls a fn which causes a core dump. You can then undump this to get the ``pre-compiled'' version of the code. If memory serves, this is how LaTeX for SPARC is produced (you run TeX with latex.tex loaded or whatever, and then dump it). Gary
