Hello list!

How to inspect a variable in a squeakimage dump file?

What do i have?
* a Squeak 3.9 image runnung on a squeak4.10.2-2612 VM has run out of memory.
The image is still in memory (size:560MB on windows 2003 pc), showing the dialogbox to confirm the crash. 
* a dumpfile of this process createt with userdump.exe
* a copy of the squeakimage five hours earlier to the crash

i expect the imagestructure to be in a valid state. (except not enough memory)

What do i want?
i want to inspect the contents of some variables in the image (dump file)

So the Question is
where can i read on / find more information about locating a certain variable in the image (dumpfile) to inspect its contents.


Any advice, pointers or links are very welcome

Peter
