The myunexec() function, which I've used since around PL12 or so, was built by looking into GNU emacs source (not something I normally do before breakfast) and seeing how unexec was invoked, and setting up args in myunexec to make it work. If you don't have a working unexec() for your platform, you're out of luck. If you do, then you should be able to copy in unexec.c from the emacs directory and link it in with perl, after compiling with -DUNEXEC. If special tweaks are required, you're going to have to become a hacker to deal with them, or find one who has. --tom Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
