Thanks for that note. I don't have a need at the moment but I got to thinking about how core files can be useful in some cases and that made me wonder if a similar capability of any sort had been developed for Java. A cooperative debugger would be part of the picture, of course. Today I got to wondering if any shells or (even better) operating systems have addressed the problem of treating class files or jars as first-class executables... :) |---------------------------------| | William H.
