We have some difficulties installing a TeX on a Sun 3/60. To install TeX with a fmt-file preloaded you have to produce a core-file. You do this, you start TeX with a special input filename (HackyInputFileNameForCoreDump.tex) and it will core. Now the problem: A program called undump should take the header and the text-segment from the original executable and the data-segment (with the preloaded fmt-data) from the corefile and put all together into a new executable. After some problems the program had to extract the command-line-parameter (filenames) it started the conversion. Everything happy til now, but when I start the new executable it cores itself with different errors (mostly Segmentation- Fault). Does anybody know a solution ? Has anybody a tested undump-program ? I'm using Sun-OS 4.0.3. PS: a kind of undump is used in Emacs (the big one from GNU), too ! Perhaps anybody could extract it an send it to me for a test !
