- That's what I like with my 386BSD system at home. There are no core files :-)
- Instead they are called core.gs (for ghostscript), core.nenscript (you
- guessed it, for nenscript) etc.
-
- What I'll do on other UN*X systems is this:
- string core | less (or more)
- At the first few pages in less the name of the executable can be found, in
- general.
- This has always worked for me in the past.
- Hope this helps,
-
- Norbert.
- P.S. If somebody has a better idea, please tell me.
