| 123539 | 2003-02-25 04:53:00 | Dump files are often not very (human) readable. They are usually kept compact (in binary form) so they can be transmitted to debuggers at a software company. There's a DOS programme called LIST by Vern Buerg(available on Simtel) which will display a file in hexadecimal (as well as do many other things). There will be other such programmes around. But unless you have lots of information about the programme which caused/created the dumps (like source code, assembly code listings...) it's hard to work out what happened. :D |
