We are looking for a utility to dump all of the memory, stack, registers into a file, so that a program's state can be saved and later restored. It should be memory resident. The reason for this is to allow saving of games such as Dark Castle, so that we don't have to go thru all the low levels when we die. Alex Pruss 2014_5001.uwovax.BITNET

Does a program of this type exists for the IBM? If so, could someone please email me a copy? Thanks in advance. :-) - Jeff - snsrjth@nmtsun.nmt.edu

What's more I also think its public domain. I remember having a copy of it once but did not reload it when my hard disk got corrupted last year - I should still have a copy somewhere and if not could probably chase it up if anyone is interested.
