(1) How would one go about converting a core image to a a.out object.

(2) All the data in the new a.out is initialized to the values present
in the core image at the time it was made.

(3) Have the program entry point somewhere in the program other than
in the main function, "the process contiunes as if it always exsisted".
of course some type of inti function will have to open all the former
process files and wind then up to the correct locations.

Hints, ideas anything.
