So I have 2 questions: - How can I find -ALL- *CORE files, is there an equivalent of the old MS DOS "dir /s" ? - Why does it "dump core"? Am I supposed to do something with the resulting file? Appreciate any advice, or hints as to where to RTFM. Thanks in advance, Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
