	Not that I'm about to tackle exec myself ... only someone with
full BCPL startup specs would be able to do that.  However, I see no reason
why you couldn't deallocate your segment first, then allocate the new 
program's segment (after checking to be sure it's a proper executable), 
simply AllocMem some memory and place the execstrap in it.. then have it
unload the first program, load and execute the second, and then free itself/
kill itself (I believe you can specify certain memory to be Free'd 
automatically on exit)

	Without Fork I don't see what use a UNIX exec will be, though.
