In UNIX just call adb <path to star> <path to core> and then type $c
otherwise you youle need to be happy with 'gdb' which helps less

call gdb <path to star> <path to core>

and then type "where"

You may like to call 

smake clean
smake COPXT=-g LDOPTX=-g

and create a new core

This is needed because gdb is too dumb to correctly show the function arguments
otherwise.

Note that the "real" star binary is called "star_fat"

See README.compile, you would needd to call 'smake depend' in order to
clear the old dependency list.
