you might be able to use gdb, but i thought that you needed to have debugging symbols turned on to do that with gdb

Unfortunately, the program was not compiled with debug, so that

What I am wanting to do, is like the OLD <Gasp> debug program
that was in MS-DOS, where you could step thru and OR see the
ASM code.

I am wanting to follow what the program is doing, and it is a
"foreign" binary (Coff), so it has to be running.

Thanks ...

Is there a way to do a "core" image/snapshot of a running program?




Probably. I don't quite understand what you mean, though.



Assuming that you have 'ulimit -c unlimited' for the session that the binary was started in and the binary is compiled with debugging symbols, then sure:
kill -15 <PID>


you'll get a core dump.
