Undump is distributed with the Unix version of TeX for making
"preloaded" versions of the tex/metafont programs. I'm not sure
of the exact details of how it works, but it takes a core file
and the original executable and creates a runable program. I don't
think it can resume execution at the point that the program dumped
core. I believe it just initializes the variables to the values
in the core file.
If you want to take a look at it you can find it in
