I want to be able to write setup information directly to a program file.
(This has been done in several applications -- ARCSHELL 2.1 is one
example). I figure that I will have to mess with the Getmpb procedure,
as well as the structure of the executable files, to find out where a
variable "lives" on the disk file. Alas, the documentation for that
stuff is *very* unrevealing, and I don't want to resort to trial & error.

I would really appreciate any suggestions, example code (C please!),
or at least a pointer to a book (he he) which carries such information.

Please e-mail to andrew@cs.utk.edu.

Thank you so much.
