Imagine the following scenario:

You are using Word for Windows 1.0 on a machine which has only a 720k
3.5" floppy and accesses most of it's data from a server.

The server goes down, and you get a windows requestor

     Cannot find WINWORD.EXE.  Please put disk in drive A:

The problem is that WINWORD.EXE is more than 720K long, and will not fit
on one disk.  The result is that you lose all of the work since the last
save.

Now the request - I am looking for a memory dumper/saver that will allow
me to reboot the machine, and then go looking byte-wise for my document.
The program will need to be able to search XMS memory as well as DOS
memory and write out blocks to disk.

I could not find one on the simtel archives.


Thanks in advance,
Phil.
