I am looking for a way to force a program out of execution, and save an image
of the program that can be restarted from the same point at a later time. 

It appears that the gnu unexec() function from gnu emacs will do this; however,
the last parameter asks for a "starting address." 

	How can I find this "starting address" (which I want to be the
current point of execution)?  Is this even possible? I am trying to implement 
this on DECstation 5000's.

If anyone has anyone has information on finding this value, or on the
whole idea in general any help would be much appreciated.

			Thanks
				Dave
