For some time now, RTI has included a program in its VAX/VMS distribution
to do this. It's called BATCHIMAGE.EXE and it lives in SYS_INGRES:[INGRES.SIG].
I think you just have to define the symbol, as

$batchimage:==$sys_ingres:[ingres.sig]batchimage

and then run it as follows

$batchimage database_name application_name

I don't know if there's any such program out there for the UNIX world.
